[Verse ]
D5 G5 D5 G5
I was dreaming in my dreaming of an aspect bright and fair,
D5 G5
Though within my sleeping, it was broken,
D5 G5
But my dream it lingered near,
D5 G5 F5 E5 D5 G5
In the form of shining valleys, where the pure air recog - nised,
F5 E5 D5 G5
Oh, then my senses newly opened,
F5 E5 D5 G5 F5 E5
Well, I a - wakened into the cry,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
That the people ...had the power...
D E
...To re - deem the work of fools,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
Upon the meek ...the graces shower,
D A
It's de - creed, the people rule-----!
[Chorus]
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power,
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power,

[Verse 2]
D5 G5 D5 G5
Vengeful aspects became suspect, and bending low, as if to hear,
D5 G5
Oo, and the armies ceased ad - vancing,
D5 G5
Because the people had their ear,
D5 G5
And then the shepherds, and the soldiers,
F5 E5 D5 G5
Then they laid among the stars,
F5 E5 D5 G5 F5 E5 D5 G5 F5 E5
Ex - changing visions, laying arms ...to waste in the dust,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
In the form of ...shining valleys,
D E
Where the pure air recog - nised,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
And my senses ...newly opened,
D A
Well, I a - wakened to the cry-----!
[Chorus]
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power,
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power

D5 G5
Where there were deserts, I saw fountains,
D5 G5 D5 G5
Like cream the waters rise, and we strolled there to - gether,
D5 G5
With none to laugh or criti - cise,
D5 G5 F5 E5 D5 G5
And the leopard and the lamb ...they lay to - gether, truly bound,
F5 E5 D5 G5
Well, I was hoping, in my hoping,
F5 E5 D5 G5 F5 E5
To re - call what I had found,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
Well, I was dreaming, in my dreaming,
D E
God knows, a pure view,
F#m (F#m/C#) G (G/D)
As I lay down ...into my sleeping,
D A
And I com - mit my dream to you------!
[Chorus]
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power,
A (A/C#) D G (G/F#) Em (Em/G) A
People have the power, people have the power
