People Have the Power

Lyrics

I was dreaming in my dreaming
 Of an aspect bright and fair
 And my sleeping it was broken
 But my dream it lingered near
 In the form of shining valleys
 Where the pure air recognized
 And my senses newly opened
 I awakened to the cry
 That the people have the power
 To redeem the work of fools
 From the meek, the graces shower
 It's decreed the people rule
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 ♪
 Vengeful aspects became suspect
 And bending low as if to hear
 Well, and the armies ceased advancing
 Because the people had their ear
 And the shepherds and the soldiers
 And they laid among the stars
 Exchanging visions, layin' arms
 To waste in the dust
 In the form of shining valleys
 Where the pure air recognized
 And my senses newly opened
 I awakened to the cry
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 ♪
 Where there were deserts
 I saw fountains
 Like cream the waters rise
 And we strolled there together
 With none to laugh or criticize
 And the leopard, and the lamb
 Lay together truly bound
 Well, I was hoping, in my hoping
 To recall what I had found
 Well I was dreaming in my dreaming
 God knows a pure view
 As I lay down, into my sleepin'
 I commit my dream to you
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 Power to dream, to rule
 To wrestle the earth from fools
 But it's decreed the people rule
 But it's decreed the people rule
 Listen
 I believe everything we dream
 Can come to pass through our union
 We can turn the world around
 We can turn the earth's revolution
 We have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 People have the power
 The power to dream, to rule
 To wrestle the earth from fools
 Well it's decreed the people rule
 But it's decreed the people rule
 We have the power
 ♪
 People have the power
 We have the power
