Soul Of A Man - Bruce Cockburn

    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)

    ("Soul of a Man" was learned from a 1930 recording by Blind Willie Johnson)
