Lyrics Empire Cast – Powerful

Text:

Jussie Smollett:
People been talking about it
We won’t just stand here in silence
Can’t stop the fire from rising, rising

Ooh, ooh

Alicia Keys:
People don’t you be afraid
So many innocents slain
This is an era for change, change

Jussie Smollett:
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 breath away from victory
I matter, you matter, we matter all
I matter, you matter, we matter all
Powerful
Powerful

Alicia Keys:
I see a colourful future
Where skin don’t define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting, shooting
Ooh, ooh

Jussie Smollett:
Mothers who 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 breath 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

Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett:
Powerful

Alicia Keys:
There’s so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breath away from victory

Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett:
I matter, you matter, we matter all
I matter, you matter, we matter all
Powerful
Powerful
