It's not the waking, it's the rising It is the grounding of a foot uncompromising It's not forgoeing of the lie It's not the opening of eyes It's not the waking, it's the rising
[Verse 2: Hozier]
It's not the shade, we should be past it
It's not the waking, it's the rising It is the grounding of a foot uncompromising It's not forgoeing of the lie It's not the opening of eyes It's not the waking, it's the rising
[Verse 2: Hozier]
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
[Verse 3: Hozier]
It's not the song, it is the singing It's the hearing of a 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
[Chorus: Mavis Staples and Hozier]
And I could cry power (power)
Power (power)
Power
Nina cried power
Billie cried power
Mavis cried power
And I could cry power
Power (power)
Power (power)
Power
Curtis cried power
Patti cried power
Nina cried power
[Verse 2: Hozier]
It's not the wall but what's behind it
The fear of fellow men, his mere assignment
And everything that we're denied By keeping the divide
It's not the waking, it's the rising
[Chorus: Hozier and Mavis Staples]
And I could cry power (power)
Power (power)
Oh, power
Nina cried power Lennon cried power James Brown cried power
And I could cry power
Power (power)
Power (power)
Power, lord
B.B. cried power Joni cried power Nina cried power
[Bridge: Mavis Staples]
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
[Chorus: Hozier and Mavis Staples]
I could cry power (power)
And 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
