POWER – WE ARE MESSENGERS
Still reeling from the July 2 Songland (NBC) win, Endearing Irish Band We Are
Spotlighted by Oprah Magazine (7.3) and dubbed “liberating and dazzling” by Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global, We Are Messengers continues its trend of delivering music with meaning.
“We are so proud of ‘Power.’ As evidenced by his win on Songland, Kyle is a world-class songwriter and producer,” says We Are Messengers front man Darren Mulligan. “It hits home live and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Adds Kyle, “We thought about how Jesus conquered death, and how we HAVE the power in us. When we’re in the middle of a challenging time, it’s easy to feel alone or forget that the battle has already been won. But this song is one of empowerment. We want to remind listeners that THEY have the power within themselves. It’s that easy — we need only believe.”
“Power” furthers the band’s unapologetic message of courageous grit (its award-winning hit “Maybe It’s Ok” championed finding strength through raw vulnerability), reminding listeners of their divine ability to “run out the darkness” as “we got that power.”
The new song releases on the heels of We Are Messengers’ six-song Honest EP (3.29) which yielded “Maybe It’s Ok” — the band’s fastest-growing single to date, with more than 16.2M streams.

LYRICS
Nothing can hold us back
Nothing can tear us apart
Not life, not death, not the in-between
This is just the start
Don’t let ’em keep you down (Keep you down)
Don’t let them push you out (Push you out)
We were made to live
To be fierce like lions,
love and forgive (To be fierce like lions, love and forgive)
Just keep moving on
Just keep pushing ahead
Yeah, the new has come
All the old is dead
Just keep moving on
Keep your eyes on the prize
And that word in your heart
Yeah, we’ll be alright
Power, power
We’ve got that
Power, power
We’ve got that
Power, power
We’ve got that
Power
Yeah, we’ll be alright
Yeah, we’re running out the darkness
Chasing down the dead of night
We’re bringing hope to the streets
There’s a new way, a better life
Only One can set the captive free (Set the captive free)
He’s bringing sight back to the blind (To the blind)
Show the lame how to walk
And make the dead alive
Just keep moving on
Just keep pushing ahead
Yeah, the new has come
All the old is dead
Just keep moving on
Keep your eyes on the prize
And that word in your heart
Yeah, we’ll be alright
