Pops Staples - You Will Be Moved lyrics

[Verse 1] You will be moved When the baby lets out his very first cry You will be moved when When you think of how hard he'll have to try He'll grow up on an empty stomach, but he'll try his best to listen To the teacher readin' from a schoolbook with half the pages missin' [Chorus] Surely when the rain comes You will be moved La da da da da See the video [Verse 2] You will be moved And you will be when the baby makes all the grades You will be moved And you will be when they still don't hire him anyway Moved by a system without one single guarantee That an education is the answer and love will set us free [Chorus] Surely when the rain comes You will be moved La da da da da See the video [Verse 3] Oh, you will be moved When the rain comes, oh yes, you will be moved When the streets overflow with angry souls That's when you see the truth When the pain that you've inflicted Comes back on your door to roost (Back on your door to roost) That's when you'll see the future (future) But you won't see you [Chorus] Surely when the rain comes You will be moved La da da da da See the video [Verse 4] You will be moved When the whip comes down On the back of one of your own You will be moved When you look for compa**ion But you find you're all alone Moved you will be When you are, that's when you'll know That the bread you share is better than the blood That your deeds have caused to flow (That the bread is better than the blood) [Chorus] Surely when the rain comes You will be moved La da da da da See the video [Verse 3] Hey, you will be moved When the rain comes, oh yes, you will be moved When the streets overflow with angry souls That's when you see the truth When the pain that you've inflicted Comes back on your door to roost (Back on your door to roost) That's when you'll see the future (future) But you won't see you [Outro] I said surely when the rain comes You will be moved La da da da da (La da da da da) See the video Hey, surely, surely, surely (when the rain comes) Surely y'all Ow, la da da da da
