like a light piercing darkness we can be the salt on earth
not oppressing those around us but giving every human worth
theres a cloud above the city
theres oil in the sea
theres a host of children dying and the blames on you and me

but theres power in the people
in the hands of you and me
theres power in the people
in all society

why do we exist? To suffer pain or welcome bliss?
or to watch the nightly news feeling so emotionless?
its a helpless state of mind this world has pulled across our eyes
lets fight against the lies, put down our fists raise up our minds

but theres power in the people
in the hands of you and me
theres power in the people
in all society

join our hands
lets make a better plan

and theres power in the people
in the hands of you and me
theres power in the people
in all society
in all society
in the hands of you and me
