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 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
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
And I could cry power (Power), power (Power)
Power, Lord
Nina cried power
Billie cried power
Mavis cried power
And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power
Hey, power
Curtis cried power
Patti cried power
Nina cried power
[Verse 2: Hozier]
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
[Chorus: Hozier & 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
Hey, power
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 & Mavis Staples]
But I could cry power (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
Hindi ito ang nakakagising, ito ay ang tumataas na
Ito ay ang grounding ng isang paa uncompromising
Hindi ito forgoing ng kasinungalingan
Ito ay hindi ang pagbubukas ng mata
Hindi ito ang nakakagising, ito ay ang tumataas na
Hindi ito ang lilim, dapat tayong maging mga nakalipas na ito
Ito ay ang liwanag, at ito ay ang balakid na cast nito
Ito ay ang init na nag-mamaneho ang ilaw
Ito ay ang apoy nito ay nagniningas
Hindi ito ang nakakagising, ito ay ang tumataas na
Hindi ito ang kanta, ito ay ang pagkanta
Ito ay ang langit ng isang tao na espiritu ring
Ito ay ang pagdadala ng linya
Ito ay ang tindig ng tula
Hindi ito ang nakakagising, ito ay ang tumataas na
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
At maaari kong umiyak kapangyarihan (Power), kapangyarihan (Power)
Power, Panginoon
Nina sumigaw power
Billie sumigaw power
Mavis sumigaw power
At maaari kong umiyak (Power) ng kapangyarihan, (Power) kapangyarihan
Hey, kapangyarihan
Curtis sumigaw power
Patti dumaing power
Nina sumigaw power
[Verse 2: Hozier]
Ito ay hindi sa pader, ngunit kung ano ang sa likod nito
Oh, ang takot sa kapwa tao, ito ay lamang assignment
At lahat ng bagay na kami ay tinanggihan
Sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa hatiin
Hindi ito ang nakakagising, ito ay ang tumataas na
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
At maaari kong umiyak kapangyarihan (Power), kapangyarihan (Power)
Oh, kapangyarihan
Nina sumigaw power
Lennon sumigaw power
James Brown sumigaw power
At maaari kong umiyak (Power) ng kapangyarihan, (Power) kapangyarihan
Hey, kapangyarihan
B.B. sumigaw power
Joni sumigaw power
Nina sumigaw power
[Bridge: Mavis Staples]
At maaari kong umiyak power
Power ay sumigaw ng mga mas malakas kaysa sa akin
Tuwid sa harap na nagsasabi sa iyo na
Gumaralgal ang iyong chain kung mahilig ka sa pagiging libre
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
Ngunit maaari kong umiyak kapangyarihan (Power)
Sanhi ng kapangyarihan ay ang aking pag-ibig kapag ang aking pag-ibig ay umabot sa akin
James Brown sumigaw power
Seeger sumigaw power
Marvin sumigaw power
Yeah ah, kapangyarihan
James sumigaw power
Lennon sumigaw power
Patti dumaing power
Billie, kapangyarihan
Dylan, kapangyarihan
Woody, kapangyarihan
Nina sumigaw power
