Lyrics of Powerful (feat. Jussie Smollett and Alicia Keys) by Empire Cast
verse
People been talking about it
We won't just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising
Rising, whoa, whoa
verse
People, don't you be afraid
So many innocents slain
This is an era for change
Change
pre-chorus
And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave
Every shade was beautifully made
chorus
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
I see a colorful future
Where skin don't define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shooting, oh
verse
Mothers who bury their child
How can we sit there and hide?
Change comes when all take a stand now
Stand up, stand up
pre-chorus
Martin's speech still echoes in my brain
Every shade was beautifully made
chorus
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
chorus
Powerful
bridge
O-oh, o-oh, o-o-o-oh
O-oh, o-oh, o-o-o-oh
O-oh, o-oh, o-o-o-oh
chorus
Powerful
There's so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breath away from victory
I matter, you matter (I matter, whoa)
We matter, all
I matter, you matter
We matter, all
Powerful
Powerful
Writer(s): Jonathan Rotem, Talay Riley, Alexander Izquierdo, Jussie Smollett
