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


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

Refrain


Where there were deserts
I saw fountains

like cream the waters rise
and we strolled there together
with none to laugh or criticize

and the leopard
and the lamb
lay together truly bound

I was hoping in my hoping
to recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming

god knows / a purer view
as I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you


Refrain


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
People have the power ...
