You Will Be Moved

Mavis Staples

    Continues after the ad

    U will be moved when the baby lets out his very first cry
    U will be moved when U think of how hard he'll have 2 try
    He'll grow up on an empty stomach, but he'll try his best 2 listen
    2 the teacher readin' from a schoolbook with half the pages missin'

    CHORUS:
    Surely when the rain comes, U will be moved
    La da da da da
    See the video

    U will be moved, and U will be when the baby makes all the grades
    U will be moved, and U 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

    Continues after the ad

    Oh, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be moved
    When the streets overflow with angry souls, that's when U see the truth
    When the pain that U've inflicted comes back on your door 2 roost
    (Back on your door 2 roost)
    That's when U'll see the future (future), but U won't see U

    CHORUS

    U will be moved when the whip comes down
    On the back of one of your own
    U will be moved when U look 4 compassion
    But U find U're all alone
    Moved, and U will be
    When U are, that's when U'll know
    That the bread U share is better than the blood
    That your deeds have caused 2 flow
    (That the bread is better than the blood)

    CHORUS

    Hey, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be moved
    When the streets all flow with angry souls, that's when U'll see the truth
    When the pain that U've inflicted comes back on your door 2 roost
    (Back on your door 2 roost)
    That's when U'll see the future (future), but U won't see U

    I said surely when the rain comes, U 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
