Shawn Butler - Power in the People lyrics

rate me

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
