Are You Sure [1967] Lyrics by The Staple Singers

Freedom Highway

1967

[Verse 1]
Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now think, brother think
[Verse 2]
Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now think, sister think
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you dare
Say the good Lord didn’t stop to hear you
He hears and sees everything you do
Start right now and take an inventory
You'll come up with a different story
[Chorus]
Because He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
Every wink of your eye
It's his laugh you're laughing
And his tears you cry
You may not know how to pray
But He lovеs you when you try
So raise your voices high
And thе Lord will hear you (yeah), hear you (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
And wink of your eye
It's his laugh you're 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 (yeah), hear you (oh yeah)
[Verse 3]
Are you sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think, you'd better think
[Verse 4]
Are you sure, real sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think, sister think
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you dare
Say the good Lord didn’t stop to hear you
He hears and sees everything you do
Start right now and take the inventory
You'll come up with a different story
[Chorus]
Cos He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
And wink of your eye
It's his laugh you're 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 (yeah), hear you (ooh yeah)
Oh oh, raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you (yeah), hear you (ooh yeah)
Oh oh, raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear...
I’ve tried him in the morning, tried him in the noon
Tried him in the midnight hour, yeah hey hey
I’m a witness
Oh, He'll do the same for you
