Karaoké People Have the Power Patti Smith

I was dreamin' in my dreamin' of an aspect bright and fair

But in my sleepin' it was broken but my dream it lingered near

In the form of shinin' valleys where the pure air recognized

And in my senses newly opened

Well I awakened to the cry

That 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 bendin' low as if to hear

But the armies ceased advancin' because the people had their ear

And the shepherds and the soldiers

And they lay among the stars

Exchangin' visions and 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

Ooh and the leopard

And the lamb lay together truly bound

Ooh I was hopin' in my hopin' to recall what I had found

Well I was dreamin' in my dreamin'

God knows a purer view

As I lay down into my sleepin'

I commit my dream to 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 world from fools

Well it's decreed

The people rule

Well it's decreed

The people rule

And listen

I believe everything we dream

Can come to pass through our union

Oh we can turn the world around

We can turn the earth's revolution

We have the power

People have the power

The people have the power

The people have the power

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

We have the power

We have the power

The people have the power

We have the power
