Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I’ve been tired of this thinking (hey) so I’ve drowned it out with drinking (oh) Tastes like a bitter pill But I’ll just wash it down With the taste of something sweet That some doctor gave me now
And this is a madness I’m not giving in
We’re shining like diamonds With fire in our bones Standing beside you I’ve a feeling That I’ll never walk alone
We’re children of the universe, Don’t you know Dancing on the edge of time And it’s ours to own Just children of the universe
Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh) Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) You know what we want And we got to get it now
Something’s stirring in the silence And it wreaks of passive violence Hold on tight ‘Cause opportunity will take Couldn’t enter all the suffering Before it gets too late
Hopes on the horizon I’m not giving in
We’re the children of the universe And don’t you know It’s dancing on the edge of time
Eye to eye Yes children of the universe
We shine like diamonds With love in our hearts We say it’s the end But I have a feeling It might just be the start
As I am A fire in my bones Standing beside you I have the feeling That I’ll never walk alone
We’re children of the universe Don’t you know Yeah, dancing on the edge of time
We are the children of the universe Power to the people
