Amazing Grace a Sparrow Died Today An Angel Unfolded Their Wings Sings

Amazing Grace A Sparrow Died Today An Angel Unfolded Their Wings Sings   Aretha Louise Franklin  

A sparrow died today
An angel unfolded their wings
Break it to me gently young, gifted and black
She began her career as a child singing gospel
Aretha Louise Franklin 
Until you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
Lord, say it isn't true
You've taken back are angel today
I'm in love get it right I was one of the chain of fools
Day dreaming on the freeway of love
Travel through Spanish Harlem
Share your love with me
Call me bridge over troubled water
Angel
And of any bad relationships don't play that song you lied)
Sweet sweet baby since you've been gone
Angel
Think
Bridge over trouble water I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"
Angel
Something He Can Feel
Lady Soul  the voice of black America
Lady Soul  "the voice of the civil rights
Lady Soul described as movement," 
Queen of Soul royal
A symbol of black equality.
A rising star her name given to an Asteroid
Angel
Think
Did the world give her enough R E S P E C T
Amazing Grace
A sparrow died today
An angel unfolded their wings
Break it to me gently young, gifted and black
To those good and bad men in her life
Think who's zoomin' who you make me feel like) a natural woman
You said, I never loved a man the way I love you
 And I say a Little Prayer crowned The Queen of Soul
Baby I love you rock steady until you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
 Something he can feel jump to It freeway of love
The most charted female artist in the chart's history
Lady Soul  the voice of black America
Lady Soul  "the voice of the civil rights
Lady Soul described as movement," 
Queen of Soul royal
A symbol of black equality.
Was an American singer, songwriter and pianist
Loved by millions
Amazing Grace
A sparrow died today
An angel unfolded their wings
Break it to me gently young, gifted and black
A sparrow died today, sing on eternity in heaven
Aretha Louise Franklin
