Empire Cast - Powerful Lyrics

[Jussie Smollett:]
People been talking about it
We won't just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising
From rising
Ooh Ooh

[Alicia Keys:]
People don't you be afraid
So many innocents slain
This is an era for change
Change

[Jussie Smollett:]
And 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 oh
I matter, you matter, we matter oh
Powerful
Powerful

[Alicia Keys:]
I see a colorful future
Where skin don't define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shooting
Ooh Ooh

[Jussie Smollett:]
Mothers who bury their childhood
How can we sit there and hide
Change comes when all take a stand now
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 oh
I matter, you matter, we matter oh
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
