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 sa   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...
