lyrics

Somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Won’t somebody tell me, what is the soul of a man
I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can
Can anybody tell me, what is the soul…

(Soul of Man) - is most in demand
(Soul of Man) - the hidden hand
(Soul of Man) - set your spirit free
(Soul of Man) - the soul of a man

I saw a crowd stand talking, I came up right on time
I was hearing the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothing but his mind

But I think we are so much more

(Soul of Man) - we pray we plead
(Soul of Man) - help is guaranteed
(Soul of Man) - bless your soul, bless your soul
(Soul of Man) - the soul of man

What have you found to ease your soul, tell
What have you found to set your spirit free

(Soul of Man) - through the golden years
(Soul of Man) - the blood, the tears
(Soul of Man) - never left behind
(Soul of Man) - the soul of 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

When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed
As he showed those doctors and lawyers
how to raise a body from the grave
