Hozier, Nina Cried Power: lyrics

It’s not the waking it’s the rising

It is the grounding of a foot uncompromising

It’s not foregoing 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 its 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 talking, it’s the doing,

It’s the hand that yearns for work and it’s renewing

Of the self each time you try,

Of purpose and of pride

It’s not the waking it’s the rising

It’s not the song, It is the singing

It’s the hearing of the human spirit ringing

It is the bringing of the line,

It is the baring of the rhyme

It’s not the waking it’s the rising

And I could cry power;

Power,

Nina cried Power,

Billie cried Power

Mavis cried Power

And I could cry Power,

Seeger cried Power

Woody cried Power

Nina Cried Power

It’s not what’s in front but who’s beside you.

It’s all that came before, and what it provides you

Those who held the line, who wouldn’t bow down and resign

It’s not the waking it’s the rising

It’s not the wall but what’s behind it

The fear of fellow man, his mere assignment

And everything denied

by keeping the divide

It’s not the waking, it’s the rising

Power,

Jonie cried Power,

Patti cried Power,

Curtis cried Power

Lennon cried Power

James Brown cried Power

Nina cried Power

Mid 8:

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

I could cry power,

And power is my love when my love reaches to me

In a perfect showing of

some act of hope and love

in it’s actuality
