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 have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It' s decreed the people rule
Chorus:
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
All the usual suspects
Seeking vengeance
Bending low as they could go
Could not match the people's power
For compassion, don't ya know
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
All the shepherds and the soldiers
Walk together
Without fear
Through the hills, and shining valleys
Hand in hand they realized
That their senses were truly opened
And together They could rise
Chorus 2:
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
The people have the power
The people have the power
