Soul Crying Out

Listen to the rhythm Listen to the beat It has a cold wind blowing Up through the street Soul crying out People crying out In through the valleys In through the streets Feel the whole world moving Underneath our feet Something's going on I said what is going wrong I feel them coming So close behind Sister says, we're next in line The man he says, that's OK And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay And you pay Still you pay It's just a soul crying out It's just the people crying out It's the land crying out And I can hear you crying out And I say, I don't know Maybe I don't care What I know is I gotta get out of here And I'm going Going any day Some sweet day Some sweet day I gotta find a way I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat I hear what they say But I don't believe what they say I see the woman, with tears in her eyes I hear the baby, calling in the night Something on the bed, was it something she said Hell this is not right What goes on through the night I hear her coming, all in my mind Sweet common love, so hard to find Someone said, man that's sad And the people walk by, cos they're so blind And you pay Still you pay It's just a soul crying out Just the people crying out It's the earth crying out And I can hear you crying out And I can feel you crying out And I say, I don't know Maybe I don't care All I know is, I gotta get out of here And I'm going, going any way Do you know, some place to go I'm getting out of here Where will I find some peace of mind I'm getting out of here I come walking to you I come singing to you Some sweet day I'm gonna walk away I'm gonna walk away It's just the soul crying out It's just the land crying out It's just the children crying out All the babies crying out Any way, some sweet day I'm gonna walk away Turn away It's just the soul crying out It's just the land crying out I wanna hear I want you here Some sweet day Just a soul crying out Of a land crying out anyway When you say Some sweet day
