[Intro] Some fear the fire... Some fear the truth... But only the blind... Fear the light... Rise up.... Stand up...... Set your mind free.... Jah RASTAFARI [Verse 1] They build high walls around the people Feed them stories dressed as gold Teach them silence, hide the answers Leave the young and brave controlled But every page becomes a weapon Every lesson lights a flame Once a mind begins awakening Nothing stays the same again [Pre-Chorus] They can lock the prison gates... But never chain... A thinking mind... [Chorus] Knowledge is power! Rise and stand taller! Truth is the fire! Burning forever! Open your eyes! Break every chain! Lift your voice! Call His name! Knowledge is power! No turning back again! (Power! Power!) (Rise up! Rise up!) [Verse 2] Books are stronger than their bullets Wisdom louder than their lies Every child who learns with purpose Carries freedom in their eyes They can steal your silver and your riches Take the clothes upon your back But no man can steal the knowledge That you carry on your path [Bridge] Read... Learn... Rise... Stand... The truth was never made... To hide... One spark... Can light... A million hearts tonight... [Final Chorus] Knowledge is power! Lift one another! Truth is the answer! Now and forever! Raise your hands! Raise your voice! Stand together! Make your choice! Knowledge is power! Let the whole world hear! (Power! Power!) (Stand up! Stand up!) Knowledge... Is... Power! [Outro] Knowledge is power... Knowledge is power... (Irie) The strongest weapon... Lives inside your mind...
