Lyrics
We got the power of the people got the power of the soul (c19version)
Got to get up off your chair, and make your feelings known.
You got the power of the people, got the power of the soul
It's the winning combination, it's how we change the world.
Let's get together now, be hippies for a while.
Peace, and love, and joy, give thanks, give a smile.
We got the power of the people, got the power of the soul.
It's the winning combination, it's how we change the world.
Change the world you know we can
Change the world, restore the land
Change the world, let's all join hands (figuritivley_)
We've got the power of the people power of the soul.
It's a winning combination, it's how we change the world.
Get off your chair got to take a moral stand
We've got to make the changes, Take back our land.
We got the power of the people, got the power of the soul.
It's the winning combination, it's how we change the world.
Sheltering in place, We ain't going nowhere
Wearing masks respecting those who breathe our air,
We've got the power of the people, power of the soul
It's a winning combination, it's how we change the world.
Thank God for the springtime, bright flowers share our space.
In spite of the virus, they know to expose their face.
We've got the power of the people, the power of the soul, It's a winning combination It's how we change the world.
