The Music of My Soul-Various Artists

[00:00.763]HUEY: When I was a young boy my daddy sat me down, [00:08.453]He said: "Son, don't you never go to the dark side of town. [00:19.291]"I'm talkin' downtown Memphis, see that's where the black folk play" [00:26.982]An' I said "Yes sir, Daddy," and then I snuck down anyway! [00:34.846]See, never was taught to read none, no, never taught to write. [00:42.194]The only thing my Daddy taught was white should stay with white. [00:48.953]But I heard it through the alleys, it floated on the breeze, [00:56.502]It burst out through the doorways and it knocked me to my knees! [01:03.545]It broke down all my senses, yet made me feel so whole, [01:10.815]See, I was lost until I found the music of my soul, [01:17.630]The music of my soul. [01:22.249]Then one day my Daddy died, and we laid him in his grave [01:28.981]And my Mama, she cried and cried and cried, and prayed that he'd be saved. [01:36.726]But all I felt was pity for he never understood- [01:44.161]How could people be so bad that make me feel so good? [01:50.970]It whipped right through my body, it grabbed me by my heart. [01:58.260]FELICIA: It shot up from my fingertips and tore me right apart! [02:05.325]HUEY AND FELICIA: It broke down all my senses, yet made me feel so whole [02:12.607]And I will love it till the day I die- [02:15.822]The music of my soul! [02:19.875]COMPANY: It broke down all my senses, yet made me feel so whole. [02:27.106]See, I was lost until I found, I was deaf until I heard- [02:34.446]HUEY: I'll make this world come around to [02:37.569]COMPANY: The music of my soul, the music of my soul!
