[x4]
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
Upon 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
[x2]
Vengeful aspects
Became suspect
And bending low
As if to hear
And the armies
Ceased advancing
Because the people
Had their ear
And the shepherds
And the soldiers
Lay beneath
Among the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying 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
[x4]
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
I was hoping
In my hoping
To recall
What I had found
I was dreaming
In my dreaming
God knows
A purer view
As I lay down
To my sleeping
I commit
My dream to you
[till the end]
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
The power to dream
To rule
To wrestle
The world from fools
It's decreed
The people rule
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
People have the power
The power to dream
To rule
To wrestle
The world from fools
It's decreed
The people rule
It's decreed
The people rule
