BOB MARLEY: Stop That Train!

Addressing the passengers,
CONDUCTOR: Lay your burdens down, no one makes it on this train alone.
The Impressions begin to sing,
THE IMPRESSIONS: People get ready, there's a train a-comin'. You don't need no ticket, you just get on board.
Passengers join in.
PASSENGERS: So, people get ready for the train to Jordan, picking up passengers coast to coast, faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em, there's hope for all among those who loved the most.
Their voices fade out as the train pulls away into the night.
