You Will Be Moved Lyrics - Prince

You will be moved 

When the baby lets out his very first cry 

You will be moved 

When you think of how hard he'll have to try 

He'll grow up on an empty stomach 

But he'll try his best to listen 

To the teacher readin' from a school book 

With half the pages missin' 

Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved 

La da da da da, see the video 

You will be moved 

And you will be when the baby makes all the grades 

You will be moved 

And you 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 

Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved 

La da da da da, see the video 

Oh, you will be moved when the rain comes 

Oh yes, you will be moved 

When the streets overflow with angry souls 

That's when you see the truth 

When the pain that you've inflicted 

Comes back on your door for roost 

(Back on your door for roost) 

That's when you'll see the future 

(Future) 

But you won't see you

Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved 

La da da da da, see the video 

You will be moved 

When the whip comes down on the back of one of your own 

You will be moved 

When you look for compassion but you find you're all alone 

Moved and you will be when you are 

That's when you'll know 

That the bread you share is better 

Than the blood that your deeds have caused for flow 

(That the bread is better than the blood) 

Surely when the rain comes, you will be moved 

La da da da da, see the video 

Hey, you will be moved when the rain comes 

Oh yes, you will be moved 

When the streets all flow with angry souls 

That's when you'll see the truth 

When the pain that you've inflicted 

Comes back on your door for roost 

(Back on your door for roost) 

That's when you'll see the future 

(Future) 

But you won't see you 

I said surely when the rain comes, you 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
