Mama always reminds me that we`re only passin` through
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`t 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
