Power to the People

Power to the People

They write the rules to keep us down,
Wear their greed like a golden crown.
But every wall they try to raise,
Will fall beneath the people’s blaze.

We are voices, we are flame,
We are more than just their game.

Power to the people, loud and clear,
We won’t fade, we won’t disappear.
From the fields to the city lights,
We’re the spark that starts the fight.
Power to the people, heart and hand,
Together we make our stand.
No more chains, no more steeple —
Power to the people!

They sell our sweat, they steal our time,
Turn our hunger into crime.
But we won’t beg, we won’t kneel,
We’ve found the strength they tried to steal.

We are thunder, we are fire,
Born from struggle, from desire.

Power to the people, loud and clear,
We won’t fade, we won’t disappear.
From the fields to the city lights,
We’re the spark that starts the fight.
Power to the people, heart and hand,
Together we make our stand.
No more chains, no more steeple —
Power to the people!

Raise your banners, lift your song,
We’ve been silent far too long.
Every heartbeat, every cry,
Says the old world’s bound to die!

Power to the people, hear the roar,
Freedom’s knocking on the door.
We are millions, we are one,
We won’t stop till justice’s done.
Power to the people, strong and free,
This is our democracy!
No more fear, no more evil —
Power to the people!
