The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay are journey down

       Chorus
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

 My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
 The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
 The brakeman swings his lantern
 Lit with never ending love
 And mama I can't thank you near enough

        Chorus repeats twice

 We can't stop here we're just passin' through
 That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes
