It has a cold wind blowing
Feel the whole world moving I said what is going wrong
Sister says, we're next in line The man he says, that's OK And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay
It's just a soul crying out It's just the people crying out And I can hear you crying out
I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat 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 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
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
All I know is, I gotta get out of here And I'm going, going any way Do you know, some place to go
Where will I find some peace of mind
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
It's just the soul crying out It's just the land crying out
Of a land crying out anyway
