Bruce Cockburn Soul Of A Man Lyrics

Soul Of A Man Lyrics

I'm going to ask the question 

Please answer if you can 

Is there
anybody's children can tell me 

What is the soul of a man? 



(CHORUS:) 

Won't somebody tell me 

Answer if you can 

Won't somebody tell me 

Tell me what is the soul of a man? 



I've travelled different countries 

Travelled to the furthest lands


Couldn't find nobody could tell me 

What is the soul of a man 



(Chorus) 



I saw a crowd stand talking 

I just came
up in time 

Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors 

That a man
ain't nothing but his mind 



(Chorus) 



I read the
Bible often 

I try to read it right 

As far as I can understand 

It's nothing but a burning light 



(Chorus) 



When
Christ taught in the temple 

The people all stood amazed 

Was
teaching the lawyers and the doctors 

How to raise a man from the grave




(Chorus)
