D  G   [x4]

        D    
I was dreaming
         G
In my dreaming
       D
Of an aspect
            G  
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


          A
That the people
          B-
Have the power
       D
To redeem
              E- 
The work of fools
          A
Upon the meek
             B-
The graces shower
         D
It's decreed
            A
The people rule

                D     G   
People have the power
                E-     A
People have the power

People have the power 
People have the power

D   G [x2]

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
Among 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 

People have the power 
People have the power 
People have the power 
People have the power

D  G  [x4]

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 lay down
To my sleeping 
I commit
My dream to you 

D   G   E-   A  [till the end]

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 
It's decreed
The people rule 
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 
We have the power 

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 
It's decreed
The people rule 
It's decreed
The people rule 

People have the power?
