Get Ready
The Wood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved the most

There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne

So people get ready
For the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank, you just thank the Lord

Yeah
Oh
Yeah
Oh

I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready




This time I'm ready
This time I'm ready

Overall Meaning

The Wood's song "Get Ready" is a gospel-inspired track that speaks to the need for spiritual preparedness in life. The song begins with a call to action, "People get ready, there's a train a-coming," which is a metaphor for the journey of life and the need to be prepared for it. The song suggests that one doesn't need any baggage, meaning that one should not be weighed down by material possessions, to embark on this journey. Instead, all that is required is faith, which is compared to the sound of a diesel engine, the humming of which can be heard only by those with faith.


The second verse of the song suggests that the journey of life is one where we pick up other passengers, from different walks of life and regions of the world. It emphasizes the importance of having faith as the key to unlocking the doors of opportunity and success, which are open to everyone regardless of their race, religion or social status.


The third verse is perhaps the most powerful, as it speaks to the need for empathy and love for others in order to achieve spiritual preparedness. It suggests that those who would hurt others to save themselves have no place on this journey, and that the Kingdom's Throne offers no hiding place for those who are selfish and without mercy. The song ends with a repetition of the call to action, "People get ready, for the train a-comin'," emphasizing that we must all be prepared for the journey of life and strive to live with love and empathy for others.
