People Have the Power
Written by - Patti Smith & Fred Smith
From - Dream Of Life
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 hove the power to redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It's decreed
The people rule

The people have the power
The people hove the power
The people hove 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
In the form of shining volleys where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry

The people have the power
The people hove the power
The people hove 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 turn the world around
We can turn the earth's 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
It's decreed
The people rule
We have the power
We have the power
The people have the power
We have the power
