Nina Cried Power Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
It is [B]the groundin' [D]of a foot
uncompromisin'
It's not forgoin' of the lie
[C]It's not the ope[G]nin' of [B]eyes
It's not the [Am]wakin', it's the risin'
[Em]

[Verse 2]
It's not the shade we should be cast in
It's [B]the light and [Em]it's
[D]the obstacle that casts it
It's the heat that drives the [C]light
It's [G]the fire it ig[B]nites
It's not the [Am]wakin', it's [Em]the risin'[B]

[Verse 3]
[Em]It's not the song, it is the singin'
It's the heaven of the hu[D]man spirit ringin'
It is the bringin' of the line
[C]It is the bearin'[G] of the lie
[B]It's not the wak[Am]in', it's the ris[Em]in'
And [B]I could c[Em]ry

[Verse 6]
It's not the war but what's [Em]behind it
Lord, the fear of foul [D]men is mere
assignment
And everythin' that we're denied
[C]by keepin'[G] the divide
[B]It's not the wakin'[Am], it's the risin'
[Em]
