Nina Cried Power
Its not the wakin, its the risin
It is the groundin of a foot uncompromisin
Its not forgoin of the lie
Its not the openin of eyes
Its not the wakin, its the risin
Its not the shade we should be past it
Its the light and its the obstacle that casts it
Its the heat that drives the light
Its the fire it ignites
Its not the wakin, its the risin
Its not the song, it is the singin
Its the heaven of the human spirit ringin
It is the bringin of the line
It is the barin of the rhyme
Its not the wakin, its the risin
And I could cry power (power)
Power (power)
Power Lord (power)
Nina cried power
Billie cried power
Mavis cried power
And I could cry power
Power (power)
Power Lord (power)
Curtis cried power
Patti cried power
Nina cried power
Its not the war but whats behind it
Oh, the fear of fellow men, his mere assignment
And everythin that were denied
by keepin the divide
Its not the wakin, its the risin
And I could cry power
Power (power)
Power Lord (power)
Nina cried power
Lennon cried power
James Brown cried power
And I could cry power
Power (power)
Power Lord (power)
Billie cried power
Joni 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 rattle your chains
If you love bein free
Ah, lord I could cry power
Power (power)
Cause power is my love
when my love reaches to me
James Brown cried power

Yeah ah, power
