Powerful

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]

People been talking about it

We won't just stand here in silence

Can't stop the fire from rising

From rising

Oh, oh

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]

People don't you be afraid

So many innocent's slain

This is an era for change

Change

[Pre-Hook: Jussie Smollett & Alicia Keys]

And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave

Every shade was beautifully made

[Hook: 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

[Verse 3: Alicia Keys]

I see a colorful future

Where skin don't define any human

And stars are the only thing shootin'

Shootin', oh, oh

[Verse 4: 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

[Pre-Hook: Jussie Smollett & Alicia Keys]

Martin's speech still echoes in my brain

Every shade was beautifully made

[Hook : 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

[Bridge]

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh.Oh

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh.Oh

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh.Oh

[Hook: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]

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
