[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
People been talking about it
We won't just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising, rising
Oh, woah, oh

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
People don't you be afraid
So many innocent's slain
This is an era for change, change

[Pre-Hook: Jussie Smollett & Alicia Keys]
Malcolm's probably turning in his grave
Every shade was beautifully made

[Hook: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
I'm 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
[Verse 3: Alicia Keys]
I see a colorful future
Where skin don't define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shootin', whoa, oh

[Verse 4: Jussie Smollett]
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-Hook: Jussie Smollett & Alicia Keys]
Martin's speech still echoes in my brain
Every shade was beautifully made

[Hook : Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
I'm 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
[Bridge]
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Hook: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
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
