People Have the Power

I was dreaming in my dreaming Of an aspect, bright and fair And in 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 Well, 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 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 And they lay beneath among the stars Exchanging visions, 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 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 And I was dreaming in my dreaming God knows a purer view As I lay down into my sleeping I commit my dream to you 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 Well, it's decreed, the people rule Well, 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 world from fools Well, it's decreed, the people rule Well, it"s decreed, the people rule We have the power We have the power People have the power We have the power
