It's not the waking, it's the risingIt is the grounding of a foot uncompromisingIt's not forgoeing of the lieIt's not the opening of eyesIt's not the waking, it's the risingIt's not the shade, we should be past itIt's the light, and it's the obstacle that casts itIt's the heat that drives the lightIt's the fire it ignitesIt's not the waking, it's the risingIt's not the song, it is the singingIt's the hearing of a human spirit ringingIt is the bringing of the lineIt is the baring of the rhymeIt's not the waking, it's the risingAnd I could cry power (power)Power (power)PowerNina cried powerBillie cried powerMavis cried powerAnd I could cry powerPower (power)Power (power)PowerCurtis cried powerPatti cried powerNina cried powerIt's not the wall but what's behind itThe fear of fellow men, his mere assignmentAnd everything that we're deniedBy keeping the divideIt's not the waking, it's the risingAnd I could cry power (power)Power (power)Oh, powerNina cried powerLennon cried powerJames Brown cried powerAnd I could cry powerPower (power)Power (power)Power, lordB. B. cried powerJoni cried powerNina cried powerAnd I could cry powerPower has been cried by those stronger than meStraight into the face that tells youTo rattle your chains if you love being freeI could cry power (power)And power is my love when my love reaches to meJames Brown cried powerSeeger cried powerMarvin cried powerYeah ah, powerJames cried powerLennon cried powerPatti cried powerBillie, powerDylan, powerWoody, powerNina cried power
