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 cry -
That the people have the power to redeem the works of fools

Upon the meek the graces shower
It's decreed
The people rule.

The people have the power
The people have the power

The people have the power
The 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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/patty_smith/people_have_the_power.html ]
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 power
The people have the power

The people have the power
The 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 tun the world around
We can turn the earths revolution.
We have the power
The people have the power

The people have the power
The people have the power.
The power to dream
To rule
To wrestle us from fools

It's decreed
The people rule.
We have the power
We have the power

The people have the power
We have the power.
