Listen to the rhythm
Listen to the beat
It has a cold wind blowing
Up through the street
Soul crying out
People crying outIn through the valleys
In through the streets
Feel the whole world moving
Underneath our feet
Something's going on
I said what is going wrongI 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 payIt'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 outAnd 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 wayI 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 sayI 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 nightI hear her coming, all in my mind
Sweet common love, so hard to find
Someone said, man that's sa
And the people walk by, cos they're so blindAnd you pay
Still you payIt'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 outAnd 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 hereWhere will I find some peace of mind
I'm getting out of hereI come walking to you
I come singing to you
Some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna walk awayIt's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying out
It's just the children crying out
All the babies crying outAny way, some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
Turn awayIt's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying outI wanna hear
I want you here
Some sweet dayJust a soul crying out
Of a land crying out anyway
When you say
Some sweet day...
