Lyrics
Soul Of A Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
I'm going to ask the question, please answer if you can
If anybody here can tell me, tell what is the soul of a man?
Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
I've traveled in different countries, I've traveled till foreign lands
I've found nobody to tell me, tell me what about the soul of a man
Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
I saw a crowd stand talking, I just came up in time
Was teaching the lawyers, the doctors, well a man ain't nothing but his mind
Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
I Want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
I read the bible often, I tries to read it right
As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind
God, won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
When Christ stood in the temple, the people all stood amazed
Was teaching the lawyers, the doctors, how to raise a man from the grave
Well, won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
I want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?
