Patty Smith 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

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
