[Dm] I was dreaming, dreaming my [G]
dreamin', loving [Dm] aspects, [G] bright and fair.
But [Dm] in my sleepin', [G] it was broken, [Dm] but my dream, it [G] lived in the air.
[D] In my farmer, [G] shinin' valleys, [D] every day and [G] every night.
And [D] my senses, [G] nearly open, but I'm [D] waking up, and [G] to the cry,
[F#m] that the people [G] have the power [D] to redeem the [E] work of fools.
[F#m] From the meek, the [G] grace to shower, [D] is the creed, the [A] people rule.
People [D] have the power, [G] people [Em] have the power,
[A] people [D] have the power,
[G] people [Em] have the power.

[G] [D] These little aspects [G] became suspect, and [D] bending low, as [G] if to hear,
[D] what the armies [G] cease to fancy, [D] because the people [G] are there.
And [D] then the shippers, [G] and the soldiers, [D] barely laid [G] amongst stars,
with sage [D] visions, [G] laying arms, [D] to grace.
[G] In the dust, [F#m] in the form of [G] shinin' valleys, [D] where the people have [E] recognized.
[F#m] And my senses, [G] nearly open, but [D] I'm waking, [A] to the cry,
people [D] have [G]
[Em] the power, [A]
people [D] have the power, [G]
[D] people [Em] have the power.

[D] Where there were deserts, [G] I saw fountains, [Dm] like cream, the [G] water's rise.
[D] And we [A] scrolled, and we're [G] together, [Am] when under [D] life, a [G] beauty sighs.
And [D] the river, and [G] the land, [Am] we lay [D] together, [G] truly bound.
[D] What I was hoping on, and [G] my hoping, [D] to recall, what [G] I found, when [F#m] I was dreaming, [G] in my dreaming.
[D] God knows, a [E] pure view, [F#m] as I lay down, into [G] my sleeping, and [D] I commit, my [A] dream to you.
People [D] have the
[G] power, people [Em] have the power, [A] [D]
[G] people [Em] have the power.
[A] The power [D] to dream, [G] to rule, [Em] to wrestle, the earth's [A] got to swallow.
But [D] if you dream, then [G] people rule, [Em] but if you dream, then people [A] rule.
Listen, [D] I believe, [G] in my single dream, [Em] can come to pass, through [A] a union,
[D] or it can [G] turn, the world around, [Em] it can turn the [A] earth's revolution.
[D] People have the power, [G] [Em] people have the [G]
[A] power, people [D] have the
[G] [Em] power.
[A] The power to [D] dream, [G] to rule, [Em] to wrestle, the earth's [A] got to swallow.
But if [D] you dream, then [G] people rule, [Em] but if you dream, then people [A] rule.
[D] We have the power, [G] [Em] we have the power,
[A] and people [D] have
[G] the [Em] power.
