Karaoké Nina Cried Power Hozier & Mavis Staples

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 and it's the singing

It's the heaven of the human spirit ringing

It is the bringing of the line it is the baring of the rhyme

It's not the waking it's the rising

And I could cry power power, power

Nina cried power

Billie cried power

Mavis cried power

And I could cry power

Power, power, yoh eeh power, power, power

Nina cried power 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 his 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, yeah hey, power

Nina cried power

Lennon cried power

James Brown cried power

And I could cry power

Power, power, yoh eeh power, power, power

Nina cried power 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

Well, well I could cry power 'cos power is my love when my love reaches to me

James Brown cried power

Seeger cried power

Marvin cried power

Hey ah, power

James cried power

James cried power

Lennon cried power ooh ooh ooh ooh

Patti cried power

Hey hey hey ah power, power, power

Billie, power

Dylan, power

Woody, power

Nina cried power

Nina cried power
