Powerful lyrics

[Jussie Smollett:]

People been talking about it

We won't just stand here in silence

Can't stop the fire from rising

From rising

Ooh Ooh

[Alicia Keys:]

People don't you be afraid

So many innocents slain

This is an era for change

Change

[Jussie Smollett:]

And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave

[Alicia Keys:]

Every shade was beautifully made

[Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett:]

And powerful

There's so much strength in you and me

Powerful

A breathe away from victory

I matter, you matter, we matter all

I matter, you matter, we matter all

Powerful

Powerful

[Alicia Keys:]

I see a colorful future

Where skin don't define any human

And stars are the only thing shooting

Shooting

Ooh Ooh

[Jussie Smollett:]

Mothers that bury their child

How can we sit there and hide

Change comes when all take a stand now

Stand up

Stand up

[Jussie Smollett:]

Martin's speech still echoes in my brain

[Alicia Keys:]

Every shade was beautifully made

[Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett:]

And powerful

There's so much strength in you and me

Powerful

A breathe away from victory

I matter, you matter, we matter all

I matter, you matter, we matter all

Powerful

Powerful

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh

[Jussie Smollett:]

Powerful

[Alicia Keys:]

There's so much strength in you and me

Powerful

A breathe away from victory

[Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett:]

I matter, you matter, we matter all

I matter, you matter, we matter all

Powerful

Powerful
