[Verse 1] Em It's not the wakin', it's the risin' D It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin' C It's not forgoin' of the lie GB It's not the openin' of eyes AmEm It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
Em It's not the shade we should be past it D It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it C It's the heat that drives the light GB It's the fire it ignites AmEm It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
Em It's not the song, it is the singin' D It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin' C It is the bringin' of the line GB It is the barin' of the rhyme AmEm It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

[Verse 2] Em It's not the war but what's behind it D Oh, the fear of fellow men, his mere assignment C And everythin' that we're denied GB by keepin' the divide AmEm It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
[Chorus] Em And I could cry power G Power (power) C Power Lord (power) C Nina cried power GB Lennon cried power AmEm James Brown cried power

[Bridge] Em And I could cry power Em Power has been cried by those stronger than me EmB Straight into the face that tells you to rattle your chains Em If you love bein' free
