    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
    Vengeful aspects became suspect
    And bending low as if to hear
    And the armies ceased advancing
    Because the people had their ear
    And the shepherds and the soldiers
    Lay beneath the stars
    Exchanging visions
    And laying arms
    To waste in the dust
    In the form of shining valleys
    Where the pure air recognized
    And my senses newly opened
    I awakened to the cry
    Where there were deserts
    I saw fountains
    Like cream the waters rise
    And we strolled there together
    With none to laugh or criticize
    And the leopard
    And the lamb
    Lay together truly bound
    I was hoping in my hoping
    To recall what I had found
    I was dreaming in my dreaming
    God knows a purer view
    As I surrender to my sleeping
    I commit my dream to you
    Where there were deserts
    I saw fountains
    Like cream the waters rise
    And we strolled there together
    With none to laugh or criticize
    And the leopard
    And the lamb
    Lay together truly bound
    I was hoping in my hoping
    To recall what I had found
    I was dreaming in my dreaming
    God knows a purer view
    As I surrender to my sleeping
    I commit my dream to you
    The power to dream to rule
    To wrestle the world from fools
    It' s decreed the people rule
    It' s decreed the people rule
    I believe everything we dream
    Can come to pass through our union
    We can turn the world around
    We can turn the earth' s revolution
    We have the power
    People have the power

      The US imperial state is what this song fights against and dismantles credibility of.. we sit on hundreds and hundreds of Indigenous soverign first-Nations that have been continuously colonized by the US state system for hundreds of years. The concept of "country" (and its many "liberal" or "conservative" frames) operate outside native place-based existance.. they're an invisibilizing colonial narrative that upholds imperial violence and legitimizes its continued use of genocidal policies. We need to use decolonizing methodologies as strategy to help decentralize this state power, bring Indigenous resistance movements to the front pages, and fight to shift autonomy back to those it was stolen from.. thats what real justice is about; dismantling state violences. If we don't legitimize the system, the orange man has no power.

    She is so incredibly gracious and humble. A friend of mine saw her a few years back and had the privilege to go backstage and meet her. There was a small child with my friend maybe 3 or 4 years old, And Patti went over to her, And bent down on her level to speak to her, In her ear, And then she gave her her guitar pick 💜

      The US imperial state is what this song fights against and dismantles credibility of.. we sit on hundreds and hundreds of Indigenous soverign first-Nations that have been continuously colonized by the US state system for hundreds of years. The concept of "country" outside native place-based existance is an invisibilizing colonial narrative that upholds imperial violence and legitimizes its continued use of genocidal policies. We need to use decolonizing methodologies as strategy to help decentralize this state power, bring Indigenous resistance movements to the front pages, and fight to shift autonomy back to those it was stolen from.. thats what real justice is about; dismantling state violences. If we don't legitimize the heirarchy, the orange man has no power.

    In November 2022 I came back from China to New York and heard this song and with all that’s happening in China this almost brought me to tears. In the New York protest demanding the Chinese government loosen up the covid policy, and so many young people in China were standing out protesting already, risking all the lives and futures. I made a slogan inspired by this song “I awakened to the cry People have the power”. And I went to the protest.

    I was just dreamin' about not caring so much, now that I'm retired. And if I do mess up....just keep on pluggin, try not to hurt anyone. My mind always goes to Patti (my sister's name also) Smith's song at the Nobel celebration for Bob Dylan. I think of me in that same position....could I be human? Humble. A mentor of mine that I used to watch interact with patients and medical students, if you listen, they have lots of questions and watching a great teacher decide how to answer is art, IMHO. Some questions were outside Eric's wheelhouse and I was amazed to see the power of saying I don't know! His esteem rose cause he didn't know something??? Patti Smith teaches the same same, be honest. Great arrangement, does it make me feel like I was there? No, BUT, a little bit. Spread awesomeness. thank you, sincerely. Lawson di Ransom Canyon
