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 Oh, where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened And I awakened into the cry That the people have the power To redeem the world from fools Upon the meek, the graces shower Well, 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 they ceased advancing Because the people, oh, held their ear Oh, and the shepherds, and the soldiers Well, they laid beneath the stars Exchanging visions and laying arms Oh, to waste in the dust In the form of shining valleys Oh, where the pure air recognized And my senses are newly opened 'Cause I awakened into the cry People have the power People have the power People have the power People have the power Well, there were deserts, I saw fountains And like cream, the world has rised And we strolled all of it together When none done laugh, nor criticized Well then, the leopard, and the lamb They laid together, retreat abound Well, I was hoping in my hoping To recall what I had found I was dreaming in my dreaming Oh, God knows a pure view And I surrender into my sleeping Well, 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 And 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 Oh, we can turn the world around We can turn the Earth's revolution (People have the power) we have the power People have the power The people have the power People have the power Power Power People have the power Power The power to dream Good night, God bless you, thank you
