Lyrics

There’s a cold wind blowing tonight,
All across the valley of steel.
Turn on your radio and turn it up loud,
And tell me how liberty feels.
I might not leave this world,
What you could call unimproved,
If I could sing like, sing like the man who,
Came from the village that moved.

Now I’m asking, where should I go?
Is there some place I oughtta be?
Was I in Memphis, when you were in Mobile,
Were you just where I couldn’t see?
I’d have everyone dancing,
Dancing down inside the groove,
If I could sing like, sing like the man who,
Came from the village that moved.

Not everyone can be a titan in spring,
Not everyone can play a lead role.
Some are made to just stand there and watch while
Others burn the world with their soul.
I could go without speaking, 
And still have no genius to prove,
If I could sing like, sing like the man who,
Came from the village that moved.
