Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]dreaming in my [G]dreaming
Of an [D]aspect bright and [G]fair
And my [D]sleeping it was [G]broken
But my [D]dream it lingered [G]near
In the [D]form of shining [G]valleys
Where the [D]pure air reco[G]gnized
And my [D]senses newly [G]opened
I a[D]wakened to the [G]cry

[Pre-chorus 1]
That the [F#m]people have the [G]power
To re[D]deem the work of [E]fools
From the [F#m]meek the graces s[G]hower
It's de[D]creed the people [A]rule

[Chorus 1]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
Vengeful [D]aspects became [G]suspect
And bending [D]low as if to [G]hear
And the [D]armies ceased ad[G]vancing
Because the [D]people had their [G]ear
And the [D]shepherds and the [G]soldiers
And they [D]lay among the [G]stars
Exchanging [D]visions
And laying [G]arms
To [D]waste in the [G]dust

[Pre-chorus 2]
In the [F#m]form of shining v[G]alleys
Where the [D]pure air reco[E]gnized
And my [F#m]senses newly [G]opened
I a[D]wakened to the [A]cry

[Chorus 2]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Where there were [D]deserts
I [G]saw fountains
Like [D]cream the waters [G]rise
And we [D]strolled there to[G]gether
With none to [D]laugh or criti[G]cize
And the [D]leopard
And the [G]lamb
Lay to[D]gether truly [G]bound
I was [D]hoping in my [G]hoping
To re[D]call what I had [G]found

[Pre-chorus 3]
I was [F#m]dreaming in my [G]dreaming
God [D]knows a purer [E]view
As I [F#m]lay down to my sl[G]eeping
I [D]commit my dream to [A]you

[Chorus 3]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
The power to [D]dream to [G]rule
To [Em]wrestle the earth from [A]fools
But it's de[D]creed the people [G]rule
But it's de[Em]creed the people [A]rule

[Bridge 1]
Listen
[D]I believe everyt[G]hing we dream
Can [Em]come to pass through our [A]union
[D]We can turn the [G]world around
We can [Em]turn the earth's revo[A]lution

[Chorus 4]
We have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
People have the [D]power[G]
People have the [Em]power[A]
The power to [D]dream to [G]rule
To [Em]wrestle the earth from [A]fools
But it's de[D]creed the people [G]rule
But it's de[Em]creed the people [A]rule
We have the [D]power[G]
We have the [Em]power[A]
The people have the [D]power[G]
We have the [Em]power[A]
[D][G][Em][A]
[Fade out]
