Aretha's Face

by Séan Silke & Chris Kabs

on Unlucky in Love (2020)

[Verse 1]
Hope shining out, and a little reserve
A price to pay for ecstasy, something great unveiled
She is ready for destiny, the spirit of her race

[Chorus]
And when I look at you I see Aretha's face
And when I look at you I see Aretha's face

[Verse 2]
Not quite innocence, ripples of grace
A comet at the starting blocks, fireworks before they flare
All she needs is a song to sing, a symphony arranged

[Chorus]
And when I look at you I see Aretha's face
And when I look at you I see Aretha's face

[Refrain]
Testifying, yeah (Aretha doing her thing)
Liberating, yeah (The music sets her free)
Testifying, yeah (Aretha doing her thing)
Liberating, yeah (The music sets her free)

[Verse 3]
Piano in the corner, sits and feels the keys
She looks insignificant until she starts to sing
Then she's gone, she's flying, to a place without any cares

[Chorus]
Aretha soars to heaven to say a little prayer
Aretha soars to heaven to say a little prayer

[Refrain]
Testifying, yeah (Aretha doing her thing)
Liberating, yeah (The music sets her free)
Testifying, yeah (Aretha doing her thing)
Liberating, yeah (The music sets her free)
