Soul Of a Man letra

I'm going to ask the question,
Please answer if you can
Is there anybody's children can tell me,
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what it is a soul of a man

I've traveled in different countries,
I've traveled to the furthest lands
Couldn't find nobody could tell me,
Tell me what about the soul of a man

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what it is a soul of a man

I saw a crowd stand talking,
I just came up right in time
Was teaching the lawyers and the doctor
That a man ain't nothing but his mind

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what it is a soul of a man

I read the bible often,
I try to read it right
As far as I can understand,
Is nothing but a burden in life

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what it is a soul of a man

When Christ taught in the temple,
The people all stood amazed
Was teaching and the lawyers the doctors
How to raise a man from the grave

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what it is a soul of a man
