Girl your voice is like an ocean deep in a woman's eyes Girl your choice in a man is the thing that makes a woman cry Worlds collide when the people hear you sing No denying everybody knows the queen The queen of soul There is a woman in the room In the fullness of her power There is a woman at the tomb And another in the tower Girl your song is a tune every woman can understand Love and longing in the search for a faithful man Freedom and chains; those are the stories that you sing All that remains of every man who would be king To the Queen of Soul There is a Woman in the room In the fullness of her power There is a woman set to bloom And another on the hour Oh there's a woman at the well talking to the King of Kings And He didn't have to tell her much to tell her everything All about her life, all about her love All about the water she was so in need of But you already know Queen of soul Girls let your voices ring like the shots heard around the world Be wise in your choices and pave your paths with tiny pearls Pray for your sisters; we all need support Put your lovelight on your Misters And remember what you learned in the courts Of the queen of soul
