Performed by Mavis StaplesComposed by PrinceU will be moved when the baby lets out his very first cryU will be moved when U think of how hard he'll have 2 tryHe'll grow up on an empty stomach, but he'll try his best 2 listen2 the teacher readin' from a schoolbook with half the pages missin'CHORUS:Surely when the rain comes, U will be movedSee the videoU will be moved, and U will be when the baby makes all the gradesU will be moved, and U will be when they still don't hire him anywayMoved by a system without one single guaranteeThat an education is the answer and love will set us freeCHORUSOh, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be movedWhen the streets overflow with angry souls, that's when U see the truthWhen the pain that U've inflicted comes back on your door 2 roost (Back on your door 2 roost)That's when U'll see the future (future), but U won't see UCHORUSU will be moved when the whip comes down on the back of one of your ownU will be moved when U look 4 compassion but U find U're all aloneMoved, and U will be when U are, that's when U'll knowThat the bread U share is better than the blood that your deeds have caused 2 flow(That the bread is better than the blood)CHORUSHey, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be movedWhen the streets all flow with angry souls, that's when U'll see the truthWhen the pain that U've inflicted comes back on your door 2 roost (Back on your door 2 roost)That's when U'll see the future (future), but U won't see UI said surely when the rain comes, U will be movedSee the videoHey, surely, surely, surely (when the rain comes)Surely y'all
