People Have The Power
Patti Smith Song Lyrics

Artist: Patti Smith
Album: Dream Of Life (1988)

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 ... 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.
