What does religion have to do with it? If nothing, it just affirms to me that we got nothing but each other. It strengthens my faith in people and nobody else.
I don't know how Patti can be so tough and punk rock, so otherworldly and graceful and so cute and full of warmth at the same time. She is a force of nature. And this is such a beautiful rendition of such an important Song Of hope.
Her hands define Patti. They are her tools and are so Graceful even when in a fist of passion or laying out an imaginary landscape or writing: even sipping coffee. Tiny noticeable hands.
if you could see my face right now! this gave me soooo much hope and joy and a big big smile all over my face. thank you SOOOO MUCH everyone for making this happen! it's POWERful!
Two more songs to listen to: Dancing Barefoot and Smells Like Teen Spirit (cover of a Nirvana song). Among others. Patti is also author of some books including The Most Excellent "Just Kids." Go for it!
I used to listen to this song over and over when she first released it in '88. And now I watched this for the first time tonight, and it made me cry. And I haven't cried in a very, very long time. Thank you, St. Patti.
I'm 70 and have just found this video and I am hooked, I have played it over and over and have yet to tire of it. Patti Smith is lovely and the 3 choirs are lovely too.
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.
so-called democratic societies ... no doubt U thinking about the biggest rising power China + the biggest land mass Russia + Africa + don't forget the Middle East where people have the 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 💜
I’m watching this for the hundredth time maybe? It’s such a beautiful performance❤ I cry every time I watch, because it’s true and it makes me feel happy ❤️
If your'e actually in Wichita Wichita Clem see if you can get this on KMUW Public Radio there! Hope for the Heartland of America. I'm from Pittsburg & my "little bro" is just recovering from KMUW's most recent pledge drive I imagine.
I am crying and smiling at the same time and shared with all I could! I have loved Patti Smith for many years, and this is so fantastic! Thank you to everyone who participated! It comes to me at a perfect time in my life to inspire!
I have a CD with this song on it and every time I play it while driving my car, I sing along JOYOUSLY and as LOUDLY as I can. Watching this video made me cry like a baby - so moving and inspiring. Someone told me once that if you don't THINK you have power, it's the same thing as actually not having it, cuz you do nothing. Let's get out there and DO!!
ohhhh my goddess, I am shivering with life, beaming with my dreams, wide awake and amazed at this moment of hope....we are opening up LOVE and living it full on!!! I'm unabashedly appreciating Patti for all of her fierce kindness, her incandescence, her badass advocacy!
40 years later, I realise, I ll love Patti for ever ! She s able to sing anything and make it sound beautiful enough to wrap your soul..... She s a Lady! RESPECT !❤️❤️❤️💕
Please sing / post this again, again and again.... Wake up people of the World...Look around--- Australian fires, US /Middle East / Famine / Water and Ocean ! etc etc etc Especially the young up and coming generations... USE YOUR VOICE !!! With love :)
This gave me the shivers! How I wish I could have been amongst the crowd singing along. This song is so poignant in today’s world! God bless this remarkable lady!
I first saw her recently on the Nobel Prize rendition of It's A Hard Rain, which ended up really really good with a well deserved heartfelt ovation. She's so human, humble, down to earth. Now I'm a huge fan. This performance with the choir, which UA-cam automatically sent me to, is a treasure for the ages. Her performance with the hand gestures is really cool, the people are so inspired, and her genuine smiles and earthiness fun to watch. Thank you!
I just stumbled upon this and now I watch it every day. It gives me a burst of energy and hope. Thank you to the choir and the producers and everyone who made this happen, including Patti Smith. Love love love.
I watch it very often too .. she is AMAZING .. and the lyrics empowering .. SUCH a beautiful performance - brings hope .. empowers .. a reality check!!

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.
YES! 😭😭😭 here we are again in 2024 and this is a big one, folks! This is a really big one. This song is the first thing that has given me hope since election night. ❤❤❤

I have lived under a rock until today, when I was introduced to Patti Smith for the first time.
Wow!!!!
she had SUCH a cool life too, growing up in NYC!!!
Better late than never 🖤

Well, my friend.....explore the legend that is Patti !!!
Her book ‘Just Kids’ is beautiful.
She still has that light in her. 💛
So true, her eyes have the spark of a teenager in love and she is in her 70's. That makes me admire her so much.
and always will 💜

This moved me.
God bless.
Same here!🥹🥰🥹
Me too. Why do you think that it is? It's so damned optimistic and beautiful.
And she presents it so well now in her wise age
The punk princess of my youth. I played this song over and over and over again. It’s human, and hopeful. Some people think that’s subversive
It's beautiful, people power! 🎉
OMG, it's so good to hear this song again , 2024 WE FIGHT WE WIN
When we fight, we win!

I listen to this from time to time when I need to be uplifted. It gives me chills every time. Patti is a gem.
I don’t know how anyone there kept it together. I’m a wreck. That was amazing.

I was there by chance (had tickets to a play at the Public that afteroon)- it was an amazing expereince

I'm 70 and have just found this video and I am hooked, I have played it over and over and have yet to tire of it. Patti Smith is lovely and the 3 choirs are lovely too.
Patti Smith did a beautiful performance with Joan Baez. Now that’s a great one to watch.
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
😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for writing this out...👏

This so moving. Needs to be played loud and often. Kudos to all involved in this beautiful moment.
I like it when the man jumps up and down and the man in the background smiles at this…
That was beautiful - moved me to tears. It is time for the people to take back their power - even in many so-called democratic societies.

"That the people have the power to redeem the work of fools."

I’ve heard several versions of this song over the years. This is the first time it made me cry.
Glad to be a woman of Patti Smith's generation - still finding hope, energy and yes, grace and warmth day by day. Namaste
this song means WAY more in these years than it did when she came out with it!
To us it does, yes…but Patti knew what she was laying down even back then…believe it 🙌
