Lyric of the Day: “People Have The Power”

patti-smith-leibovitz-740049

“I was dreaming in my dreaming
of an aspect bright and fair
and my sleeping it was broken
but my dream it lingered near
in the form of shining valleys
where the pure air recognized
and my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
that the people have the power
to redeem the work of fools
upon the meek the graces shower
it’s decreed the people rule

The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power”

- Written by Patti Smith and Fred Smith. Appears on the album Dream Of Life.
