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…
