Powerful - Empire Cast, Jussie Smollett, Alicia Keys

People been talking about it

We won’t just stand here in silence

Can’t stop the fire from rising

From rising

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 that 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, powerful
