[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
[Verse 2]
I've travelled different countries
I've travelled to the furthest lands
Couldn't find nobody could tell me
Tell me what about the soul of a man
[Chorus]
Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
[Verse 3]
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]
Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
[Verse 4]
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]
Well won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
[Verse 5]
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]
Well won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can
I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
