like a light piercing darkness we can be the salt on 
earthnot 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
