soul crying out
Singer: simple minds
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.
