Lyrics
It's not the wakin', it's the risin' It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin' It's not forgoin' of the lie It's not the openin' of eyes It's not the wakin', it's the risin' It's not the shade we should be cast in 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 wakin', it's the risin' It's not the song, it is the singin' It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin' It is the bringin' of the line It is the bearin' of the lie It's not the wakin', it's the risin' And I could cry power (power) Power (power) Power (power) Nina cried power Billie cried power Linus cried power And I could cry power Power (power) Power (power) Power Curtis cried power Kenny cried power Nina cried power It's not the war but what's behind it Oh, the fear of how men is near assignment And everythin' that we're denied by keepin' the divide It's not the wakin', it's the risin' And I could cry power (power) Power (power) Power (power) Nina cried power Lenny cried power James Brown cried power And I could cry power Power (power) Power (power) Power Billie cried power Junie 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 grab on your chains If you love bein' free Ah, lord I could cry power Power (power) 'Cause power is my love and my righteous to me James Brown cried power [?] cried power Woman cried power Yeah ah, power James cried power Millie cried power Kenny cried power Billie, power Dylan, power Woody, power Nina cried power
