birthday to you, birthday to you
happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you
A few years ago, on my birthday, I had just become 21.
I remember I had a lot to live, said I had a lot to give.
And a man comes to every year.
And though that what he sent me to didn't claim me,
If I'm bitter on blame,
It's just my soul responds,
Don't you try to tell me I'm unpatriotic,
I deserve an explanation.
I can't help but wonder,
If you really got it,
It's just my soul responds, Soul responds,
Soul responds.
Eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya,
Noa, eeya, weeya, noa, eeya, noa, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya, eeya
Let's let all people fall in love,
And be as powerful, if all men do.
I'm on a reservation living in a state of degradation
But the soul is my own soul
Cause I'm not over human rights
I surrender, I surrender
But it's just my soul is my own soul
And I'm going to see a little home for the children
In the land of Guinea
Just my soul is my thing
Soul is my thing
Open lives need no love or agony
It's just my soul is my thing
Soul is my thing
Soul is my thing
Soul is my thing

I was born and gathered on the downside of the track
And there are forces who do everything they can do
But I'm in fact because my skin [Em] is black
Oh, [E] oh, oh, mine, hell, it's about time
It's just my soul is my thing
I was born and second class in a land I helped to form
Just my soul is my
Too many roaches
And not enough heat to keep my babies warm
In this land I helped to form I got
Too many roaches
And not enough heat to keep my babies warm
It's my soul is my SOUL SOUL SOUL

Just join my soul, join my soul, join my soul, join my soul SOUL
