U will be moved when the baby lets out his very first cry
  U will be moved when U think of how hard he'll have 2 try
  He'll grow up on an empty stomach, but he'll try his best 2 listen
  2 the teacher readin' from a schoolbook with half the pages missin'
    CHORUS:
  Surely when the rain comes, U will be moved
  La da da da da
  See the video
    U will be moved, and U will be when the baby makes all the grades
  U will be moved, and U 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
    CHORUS
    Oh, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be moved
  When the streets overflow with angry souls, that's when U see the truth
  When 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 U
    CHORUS
    U will be moved when the whip comes down
  On the back of one of your own
  U will be moved when U look 4 compassion
  But U find U're all alone
  Moved, and U will be
  When U are, that's when U'll know
  That the bread U share is better than the blood
  That your deeds have caused 2 flow
  (That the bread is better than the blood)
    CHORUS
    Hey, U will be moved when the rain comes, oh yes, U will be moved
  When the streets all flow with angry souls, that's when U'll see the truth
  When 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 U
    I said surely when the rain comes, U 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
