What Is the Soul of Man?

I have a question to ask you
Want you to tell me if you can
I Want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man?

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

I often read the scriptures
Read it in different places
Haven't found anybody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

Well I saw a crowd talking
Came up just in time
One brother said that
Soul of man is nothing but his mind

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

Someday I say it's the scripture
Some day it's a thing out of sight
That's always out of the scripture
And non one knows it's right

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

Well I've travelled through this country
Travelled to different palces
I found nobody could tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man

I want somebody to tell me
Oh tell me, please, tell me right
I want somebody to tell me
Just what is the soul of man
