Performed by Mavis Staples
|
Composed by Prince
|
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
|
|
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
|
