Nina Cried Power Lyrics - Hozier

It's not the wakin', it's the risin' 

It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin' 

It's not forgoin' of the lie, It's not the openin' of eyes 

It's not the wakin', it's the risin' 

It's not the shade we should be casting 

It's the light, it's the obstacle that casts it 

It's the heat that drives the light 

It's the fire it ignites 

It's not the wakin', it's the risin' 

It's not the song, it is the singin' 

It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin' 

It is the bringin' of the line 

It is the bearin' of the rhyme 

It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And I could cry power (power) 

Power (power) 

Power, Lord! 

Nina cried power 

Billie cried power 

Mavis cried power 

And I could cry power 

Power (power) 

Power (power) 

Power, Lord! 

Curtis cried power 

Patti cried power 

Nina cried power 

It's not the war, but what's behind it 

Oh, the fear of fellow men is near assignment 

And everything that we're denied 

By keepin' the divide 

It's not the wakin', it's the risin' 

And I could cry power (power) 

Power (power) 

Power (power) 

Power, Lord! 

Nina cried power 

Lennon cried power 

James Brown cried power 

And I could cry power 

Power (power) 

Power (power) 

Power 

B.B. 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 

Seger cried power 

Marvin cried power 

Yeah ah, power 

James cried power 

Millie cried power 

Patti cried power 

Billie, power 

Dylan, power 

Woody, power 

Nina cried power
