[Verse]
DG I was dreaming in my dreaming
DG Of an aspect bright and fair
DG And my sleeping, it was broken
DG But my dream it lingered near
DG In the form of shining valleys
DG Where the pure air recognised
DG And my senses newly opened
DG I awakened to the cry
 [Pre-Chorus]
F#mG That the people have the power
DEm To redeem the work of fools
F#mG Upon the meek the graces shower
DA It's decreed, the people rule
 [Chorus]
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
 / D / G / x2 [Verse]
DG Vengeful aspects became suspect
DG And bending low as if to hear
DG And the armies ceased advancing
DG Because the people had their ear
DG And the shepherds and the soldiers
DG Lay beneath among the stars
DG Exchanging visions and laying arms
DG To waste in the dust
 [Pre-Chorus]
F#mG In the form of shining valleys
DEm Where the pure air recognised
F#mG And my senses newly opened
DA I awakened to the cry
 [Chorus]
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
 / D / G / x4 [Verse]
DG Where there were deserts I saw fountains
DG Like cream the waters rise
DG And we strolled there together
DG With none to laugh or criticise
DG And the leopard and the lamb
DG Lay together truly bound
DG I was hoping in my hoping
DG To recall what I had found
 [Pre-Chorus]
F#mG I was dreaming in my dreaming
DEm God knows a purer view
F#mG As I lay down to my sleeping
DA I commit my dream to you
 [Chorus]
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG The power to dream, to rule
EmA To wrestle the world from fools
DG It's decreed, the people rule
EmA It's decreed, the people rule
DG Listen, I believe everything we dream
EmA Can come to pass through our union
DG We can turn the world around
EmA We can turn the earth's revolution
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG People have the power
EmA People have the power
DG The power to dream, to rule
EmA To wrestle the world from fools
DG It's decreed, the people rule
EmA
