Lyrics (original):
hii maisha ni safari
tunapita kama moshi
na kabla tuzame mchangani
kuna kushinda na kufeli oh
inabidi ujijue tofauti ya mwalimu na mwanafunzi
ni ujuzi na ujuaji

oh it’s unbelievable
that we make it this far
undeniable
to see the promised land from a far
and it's so beautiful
that you can't catch the fire
and you know it's not in vain
steady tripping through the pain
ohhhh

steady rocking on the midnight train
steady rocking on the midnight train
oh, lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
to Zion
to Zion

it's a narrow road to Zion
nothing will ever deny us
whatever it takes keep on rocking
whatever it takes keep on moving
to Zion
to Zion, to Zion

steady rocking on the midnight train
steady rocking on the midnight train
oh, lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
to Zion
to Zion

Translation of first verse
life is a journey
we are passing like smoke
and before we sink into the ground
there is winning and failing
you have to know the difference between a teacher and a student
it is knowledge and experience
