Nina Cried Power - Hozier w/Mavis Staples

Read that this is on Obama's list of favorite songs:

It's not the wall but what's behind it
The fear of fellow men, his mere assignment
And everything that we're denied
By keeping the divide
It's not the waking, it's the rising
And I could cry power (power)

Somehow her voice works with every other voice...amazing. I have been listening to Staples music for four decades.

I can’t wait to watch this one on my bigger screen.
