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
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?
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
