People Have The Power Lyrics - Singles - Patty Smith

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 

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.
