We are soul children, children of many colors
Walkin' on a big black street, we all want different things
We are soul children, children of freedom
Children of rock and roll, children of confusionWe are running faster, reaching higher
Burning in the sun
We are reaching farther but we have lost our
Soul childrenWe are soul children, yes I'm a brother, yes I do believe
We are soul children, we must rise up from the deep
We are soul children, try to feed our families and keep our mind free
We are soul children looking for a leader who'll do everything for 'me'We are running faster, reaching higher
Burning in the sun
We are reaching farther but we have lost our
Soul childrenWe are soul children, yes I'm a brother, yes I do believe
We are soul children, we must rise up from the deep
We are soul children, children of a God better than the one on TV
We are soul children, we must rise up from the deep
We can't lose our soul children
