Are You Sure?
Aretha Franklin · Try A Little Tenderness [2013]
Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now, think
Sister, think
Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now, think
Brother, think
But don't you dare
Say the good Lord
Didn't stop to hear you
He hears and sees
Everything you do
Stop right now
And take the inventory
You'll come up
With a different story
Because He sees
Every move you make
Every waggle of you head
Every wink of your eye
He sees
The laugh you're laughing
And hears tears you cry
You may not know
How to pray
But He loves you
When you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you
Hear you
He sees every move you make
Every waggle of you head
Every wink of your eye
He sees
The laugh you're laughing
And hears tears you cry
You may not know
How to pray
But He loves you
When you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you
Hear you
Are you sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think
You'd better think
Are you sure
Real sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think
Brother, think
Don't you dare
Say the good Lord
Didn't stop to hear you
He hears and sees
Everything you do
Stop right now
And take the inventory
You'll come up
With a different story
Because He sees
Every move you make
Every waggle of you head
Every wink of your eye
Its His laugh you laughing
And those are His tears you cry
You may not know
How to pray
But He loves you
When you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you
Hear you
Oh! Raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you
Hear you
Oh! Raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you
Haven't been answered?
Now, think
Sister, think
Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
