I update this blog almost every day. It could be about anything: politics & current events, religion, work, geek-related materials. Sometimes I just post random thoughts.

Thought-Provoking Song

Christa and I recently saw the movie Glory Road. While I did not find it to be a great movie, it was still entertaining and had a very good message: http://imdb.com/title/tt0385726/

In a movie that deals with the issue of racial tension in America, I found this song that they used to be very movie. It is played right before the ending credits and you find out what each of the players does after their career at Texas Western. The songs was first performed by The Impressions in 1965 and was written by Curtis Mayfield:

People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

People get ready there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord.

Thoughts?
