Intro – D G D G …
D G
1. I was dreaming in my dreaming
D G
of an aspect bright and fair
D G
and my sleeping it was broken
D G
but my dream it lingered near
D G
in the form of shining valleys
D G
where the pure air recognized
D G
and my senses newly opened
D G
I awakened to the cry
F#m G
that the people / have the power
D A
to redeem / the work of fools
F#m G
upon the meek / the graces shower
D A
it's decreed / the people rule
D G
The people have the power
Em A
The people have the power
D G
The people have the power
Em A
The people have the power
(Same chords as verse 1)
2. 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 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
Refrain
3. 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 surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
Refrain
D G
4. The power to dream / to rule
Em A
to wrestle the world from fools
D G
well it’s decreed the people rule
Em A
well it’s decreed the people rule
LISTEN
D G
I believe everything we dream
Em A
Can come to pass through our union
D G
We can turn the world around
Em A
We can turn the earth’s revolution
Refrain
