People Have the Power

...   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 well it’s decreed the people rule well 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  (Refrain) Power Power People have the power Power
