Lyrics People Have the Power - Candi Staton

People Have the Power

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
