Lyrics

[00:16.54] I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
[00:20.00] Of an aspect bright and fair
[00:23.67] And my sleepin' it was broken
[00:27.44] But my dream it lingered near
[00:31.20] In the form of shinin' valleys
[00:34.82] Where the pure air recognized
[00:38.38] Oh, and my senses newly opened
[00:42.12] And I awakened to the cry
[00:45.79] And the people have the power
[00:49.56] To redeem the work of fools
[00:53.07] From the meek the graces shower
[00:56.90] It's decreed the people rule
[01:02.08] People have the power
[01:05.73] People have the power
[01:09.41] People have the power
[01:13.22] People have the power
[01:24.93] Vengeful aspects became suspect
[01:28.30] And bending low as if to hear
[01:31.88] Well, and the armies ceased advancin'
[01:35.50] Because the people had their ear
[01:39.25] And the shepherds the soldiers
[01:43.15] And they laid among the stars
[01:46.79] Exchanging visions, layin' arms
[01:50.33] To waste in the dust
[01:54.24] In the form of shinin' valleys
[01:57.95] Where the pure air recognized
[02:01.53] And my senses newly opened
[02:05.21] And I awakened to the cry
[02:10.22] People have the power
[02:13.86] People have the power
[02:17.63] People have the power
[02:21.26] People have the power
[02:40.14] Where there were deserts, I saw fountains
[02:43.79] Like cream the waters rise
[02:47.54] And we strolled there together
[02:51.09] With none to laugh or criticize
[02:54.75] There is no leopard and the lamb
[02:58.50] And lay together truly bound
[03:02.10] Well I was hopin' in my hopin'
[03:05.87] To recall what I had found
[03:09.58] Well I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
[03:13.31] God knows a pure view
[03:16.93] As I lay down into my sleepin'
[03:20.69] And I commit my dream with you
[03:26.26] People have the power
[03:29.38] People have the power
[03:32.99] People have the power
[03:37.01] People have the power
[03:40.51] The power to dream, to rule
[03:44.90] To wrestle the earth from fools
[03:48.47] But it's decreed the people rule
[03:52.00] But it's decreed the people rule
[03:55.35] Listen, I believe everythin' we dream
[03:59.46] Can come to pass through our union
[04:03.24] We can turn the world around
[04:07.09] We can turn the earth's revolution
[04:10.32] We have the power
[04:13.94] People have the power
[04:17.36] People have the power
[04:21.13] People have the power
[04:24.81] The power to dream, to rule
[04:29.00] To wrestle the earth from fools
[04:32.51] But it's decreed the people rule
[04:36.26] But it's decreed the people rule
[04:39.97] We have the power
[04:43.61] We have the power
[04:46.95] People have the power
[04:50.46] We have the power
