You Will Be Moved
Prince · Other Songs - Prince
You will be moved
When the baby lets out his very first cry
You will be moved
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 school book
With half the pages missin'
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
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
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
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 for roost
(Back on your door for roost)
That's when you'll see the future
(Future)
But you won't see you
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
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 compassion but you find you're all alone
Moved and 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 for flow
(That the bread is better than the blood)
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
Hey, you will be moved when the rain comes
Oh yes, you will be moved
When the streets all flow with angry souls
That's when you'll see the truth
When the pain that you've inflicted
Comes back on your door for roost
(Back on your door for roost)
That's when you'll see the future
(Future)
But you won't see you
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
When the baby lets out his very first cry
You will be moved
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 school book
With half the pages missin'
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
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
Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved
La da da da da, see the video
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 for roost
(Back on your door for roost)
That's when you'll see the future
