I was dreamin' in my dreamin'   Of an aspect bright and fair   And my sleepin' it was broken   But my dream it lingered near      In the form of shinin' valleys   Where the pure air recognized   Oh, and my senses newly opened   And I awakened to the cry      And the people have the power   To redeem the work of fools   From the meek the graces shower   It's decreed the people rule      People have the power   People have the power   People have the power   People have the power      Vengeful aspects became suspect   And bending low as if to hear   Well, and the armies ceased advancin'   Because the people had their ear      And the shepherds [Incomprehensible] the soldiers   And they laid among the stars   Exchanging visions, layin' arms   To waste in the dust      In the form of shinin' valleys   Where the pure air recognized   And my senses newly opened   And I awakened to the cry      People have the power   People have the power   People have the power   People have the power      Where there were deserts, I saw fountains   Like cream the waters rise   And we strolled there together   With none to laugh or criticize      There is no leopard and the lamb   And lay together truly bound   Well I was hopin' in my hopin'   To recall what I had found      Well I was dreamin' in my dreamin'   God knows a pure view   As I lay down into my sleepin'   And I commit my dream with you      People have the power   People have the power   People have the power   People have the power      The power to dream, to rule   To wrestle the earth from fools   But it's decreed the people rule   But it's decreed the people rule      Listen, I believe everythin' 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   People have the power   People have the power      The power to dream, to rule   To wrestle the earth from fools   But it's decreed the people rule   But it's decreed the people rule      We have the power   We have the power   People have the power   We have the power
