Nina Cried Power

                        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
            G            B
It's not the openin' of eyes
               Am               Em
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
          G       B
It's the fire it ignites
              Am                Em
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
            G             B
It is the barin' of the rhyme
               Am               Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

[Chorus]

[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
     G            B
by keepin' the divide
                Am              Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

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

[Chorus]
                     Em
Ah, lord I could cry power
G
Power (power)
                   C
