      RE             SOL
I was dreaming in my dreaming
      RE                SOL
Of an aspect bright and fair
       RE              SOL
And my sleeping it was broken
       RE                SOL
But my dream it lingered near
       RE              SOL    SOL7
In the form of shining valleys
          RE           SOL   SOL7
Where the pure air recognized
       RE           SOL    SOL7
And my senses newly opened
   RE             SOL  SOL7
I awakened to the cry
         FA#m            SOL
That the people have the power
     RE               MI
To redeem the work of fools
         FA#m            SOL
Upon the meek the graces shower
       RE               LA
It's decreed the people rule

         RE             SOL
Vengeful aspects became suspect
            RE           SOL
And bending low as if to hear
        RE              SOL
And the armies ceased advancing
            RE               SOL
Because the people had their ear
        RE                SOL     SOL7
And the shepherds and the soldiers
      RE        SOL   SOL7
Lay beneath the stars
           RE                 SOL  SOL7
Exchanging visions and laying arms
   RE           SOL   SOL7
To waste in the dust
       FA#m            SOL
In the form of shining valleys
          RE           MI
Where the pure air recognized

And my senses newly opened

                 RE
Where there were deserts
   SOL
I saw fountains
     RE               SOL
Like cream the waters rise
       RE               SOL
And we strolled there together
             RE            SOL
With none to laugh or criticize
        RE              SOL  SOL7
And the leopard and the lamb
      RE           SOL   SOL7
Lay together truly bound
      RE           SOL    SOL7
I was hoping in my hoping
     RE              SOL   SOL7
To recall what I had found
      FA#m           SOL
I was dreaming in my dreaming
    RE            MI
God knows a purer view
       FA#m          SOL
As I surrender to my sleeping
    RE               LA
I commit my dream to you

To wrestle the world from fools

People Have the Power è un brano scritto e interpretato da Patricia Lee Smith, meglio conosciuta come Patti Smith, contenuto nell'album Dream of Life pubblicato nel 1988. Quinto disco di inediti per la mitica cantautrice di Chicago, segna il suo ritorno sulle scene musicali dopo ben nove anni di assenza, periodo in cui si era spostata con il chitarrista Fred Smith dal quale ha poi avuto due figli. La canzone, la più celebre dell'album, è scritta proprio insieme al marito; un vero e proprio inno alla libertà e alla democrazia!
