Powerful Songtext
von Jussie Smollett & Alicia Keys

People been talking about it
We won′t just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising, rising
Ooh-oh-oh

People don′t you be afraid
So many innocent's slain
This is an era for change, change

And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave
Every shade was beautifully made

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

I see a colorful future
Where skin don′t define any human
And stars are the only thing shootin', shootin′, oh, oh

Mothers who bury their child
How can we sit there and hide
Change comes when all take a stand now
Stand up, stand up

Martin's speech still echoes in my brain
Every shade was beautifully made

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

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
