People Have The Power - Lyrics by Patty Smith


Lyrics
I was dreaming in my dreaming of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was brokenbut my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleyswhere the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to cry -
That the people have the power to redeem the works of fools
Upon the meek the graces showerit's decreedthe people rule.
The people have the powerthe people have the power
The people have the powerthe people have the power.
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 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 -
The people have the powerthe people have the power
The people have the powerthe people have the power.
The power to dreamto ruleto wrestle the world from fools
It's decreedthe people ruleit's decreedthe people rule.
Listen: I believe everything we dream can come to pass through ourunion
We can tun the world aroundwe can turn the earths revolution.
We have the powerthe people have the power
The people have the powerthe people have the power.
The power to dreamto ruleto wrestle us from fools
It's decreedthe people rule.
We have the powerwe have the power
The people have the powerwe have the power.
