People Have the Power - Candi Staton

I was dreamin' in my dreamin'

Of an aspect bright and fair

And my sleepin', it was broken

But my dreams, it lingered near

In the form of shinin' valleys

Where the pure air is recognized

And my senses newly opened

As I awakened to the cry

That the people have a power

To redeem the work of fools

Upon the meek the graces shower

It’s decreed the people rule

Hey, hey

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power, oh, yeah

People have the power

Where there were deserts, I saw fountains

Like cream, the water rise

As we strolled there together

None to laugh, ha, or criticize

And the leopard and the lamb

Lay together, truly bound

I was hopin' in my hopin'

To recall what I had found

Oh, I was dreamin' in my dreamin'

God knows a purer view

As I surrendered in my sleepin'

I commit my dream to you, yeah

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the power)

People have the power (People have the)

The power to dream

Yeah

The power to rule, oh, yeah

To, to wrestle the world from fools

It’s decreed, the people rule

(People have the power) It’s decreed, the people rule

(People have the power) People have the power

(People have the power) I believe in everything we dream

(People have the power) Come to pass through our union

(People have the power) We can turn the world around (The power)

We can turn the Earth’s revolution (Power, the power)

We have a power, people, yes, we do (Power, the power)

People have the power (Power, the power)

People have the power
