nina cried power

hozier

it's not the waking

it's the rising

it is the grounding of a foot uncompromising

it's not forgoing of the lie

it's not the opening of eyes

it's not the waking

it's the rising

it's not the shade

we should be past it

it's the light

and it's the obstacle that casts it

it's the heat that drives the light

it's the fire it ignites

it's not the waking

it's the rising

it's not the song

it is the singing

it's the heaven of a human spirit ringing

it is the bringing of the line

it is the bearing of the rhyme

it's not the waking

it's the rising

and i could cry power

power

power

lord

nina cried power

billie cried power

mavis cried power

and i could cry power

power

hey

power

curtis cried power

patti cried power

nina cried power

it's not the wall

but what's behind it

oh

the fear of fellow man

it's mere assignment

and everything that we're denied

by keeping the divide

it's not the waking

it's the rising

and i could cry power

power

oh

power

nina cried power

lennon cried power

james brown cried power

and i could cry power

power

hey

power

b.b. cried power

joni cried power

nina cried power

and i could cry power

power has been cried by those stronger than me

straight into the face that tells you

to rattle your chains if you love being free

but i could cry power

'cause power is my love when my love reaches to me

james brown cried power

seeger cried power

marvin cried power

yeah ah

power

james cried power

lennon cried power

patti cried power

billie

power

dylan

power

woody

power

nina cried power
