Patti Smith in Utrecht

Patti Smith and her band came to Utrecht last month for doing concerts. Gratefully, we were able to attend one of them, and were deeply moved. A salute to the great musicians!






I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleepin', it was broken
But my dream, it lingered near

In the form of shinin' valleys
Where the pure air recognized
Oh, and my senses newly opened
Well 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

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

Vengeful aspect became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
Well, and the armies ceased advancin'
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions and layin' arms
To waste in the dust

In the form of shinin' valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

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 hopin' in my hopin'
To recall what I had found

Well I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
God knows a pure view
As I lay down to my sleepin'
I commit my dream to you

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the earth from fools
But it's decreed the people rule
It's decreed the people rule
Listen
I believe everythin' 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
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the earth from fools
But it's decreed the people rule
But it's decreed the people rule
We have the power
We have the power
The people have the power
We have the power
