Soul
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.
I believed in soul...
And I was free, with tomorrow still untold
You could show, the streets all lined with gold
But all I saw was hope, and everything looked fine
Sorrow was your friend but now it's mine
'Cause I believed in soul...
But now I see it's making my heart feel so damn cold
It's hard to feel alive when everything gets sold
For the soul
You could say I'm numb
But I'm a man who never wanted to become
A promise breaks and disappointment has begun
I used to stand and stare at you
So I could feel at home
You used to let me win, but now you won't
'Cause I believe in soul...
But now I see it's making my heart feel so damn cold
It's hard to feel alive when everything gets sold
For the soul
I can see a place
Where my hands will not be stained
I watched the darkness fade to blue
But the memory remains
And I believe in soul...
But now I see it's making my heart feel so damn cold
It's hard to feel so alive when everything gets sold
For the soul
(For the soul)
And I believe in soul...
But now I see it's making my heart feel so damn cold
It's hard to feel so alive when everything gets sold
For the soul
Soul...
