Simple Minds - Soul Crying Out lyrics

rate me

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
