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
Nie je to prebudenie, je to stúpajúca
To je uzemnenie nôh nekompromisný
Nie je to vzdáva lži
Nie je to otvorenie očí
Nie je to prebudenie, je to stúpajúca
Nie je to odtieň, by sme mali byť okolo neho
Je to ľahké, a je to prekážka, ktorá ho vrhá
Je to teplo, ktoré poháňa svetlo
Je to oheň zapáli
Nie je to prebudenie, je to stúpajúca
Nie je to pieseň, to je spev
To je nebo z ľudského ducha zvonenie
To je spojenie linky
Jedná sa o ložisko nádchu
Nie je to prebudenie, je to stúpajúca
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
A mohol by som plakať výkon (energia) a energie (Power)
Power, Lord
Nina vykríkol silu
Billie vykríkol silu
Mavis vykríkol silu
A mohol by som plakať energie, energie (Napájanie) (Napájanie)
Ahoj, moc
Curtis plakal silu
Patti zareval výkon
Nina vykríkol silu
[Verse 2: Hozier]
Nejde o stenu, ale to, čo je za ním
Oh, strach z blížneho, je to obyčajné priradenie
A všetko, čo sme poprieť
Tým, že predel
Nie je to prebudenie, je to stúpajúca
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
A mohol by som plakať výkon (energia) a energie (Power)
Oh, moc
Nina vykríkol silu
Lennon kričal silu
James Brown kričal silu
A mohol by som plakať energie, energie (Napájanie) (Napájanie)
Ahoj, moc
B.B. vykríkol silu
Joni vykríkol silu
Nina vykríkol silu
[Most: Mavis Staples]
A mohol by som plakať moc
Výkon bol plakal tí silnejší ako ja
Rovno do tváre, ktorý vám povie,
Chrastenie reťazí, ak máte radi za prosté
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
Ale nemohla som plakať sila (Power)
Príčinou sila je moja láska, keď moja láska dostane na mňa
James Brown kričal silu
Seeger vykríkol silu
Marvin vykríkol silu
Jo aha, sila
James vykríkol silu
Lennon kričal silu
Patti zareval výkon
Billie, sila
Dylan, sila
Woody, sila
Nina vykríkol silu
