Intro :D G D G ...
DI was dreaming in my dGreaming
Dof an asGpect bright and fair
Dand my slGeeping it was broken
Dbut my drGeam it lingered near
Din the fGorm of shining valleys
Dwhere Gthe pure air recognized
Dand myG senses newly opened
DI awakenedG to the cry
F#mthat the peopleG have the power
Dto redeem the Awork of fools
F#mupon the meekG the graces shower
Dit's decreed the Apeople rule
Refrain
DThe peopGle have the power
EmThe pAeople have the power
DThe Gpeople have the power
EmThe pAeople have the power
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
(Refrain)
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
(Refrain)
DThe power to dream to Grule
Emto wrestle the worlAd from fools
Dwell it's decGreed the people rule
Emwell it's decreeAd the people rule
LISTEN
DI believe everGything we dream
EmCan come to pass thrAough our union
DWe can tGurn the world around
EmWe can tuArn the earth's revolution
