  • Power to the people (oh, hey, hey)
    Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh)

    I've been tired of this thinking (hey)
    so I've drowned it out with drinking (oh)
    Tastes like a bitter pill but I'll just wash it down
    With the taste of something sweet that some doctor gave me now
    And this is a madness
    I'm not giving in

    We're shining like diamonds
    With fire in our bones
    Standing beside you I've a feeling that I'll never walk alone

    We're children of the universe, don't you know
    Dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own
    Just children of the universe

    Power to the people (oh, hey, hey)
    Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    Power to the people (oh, hey, hey)
    You know what we want and we've gotta get it now

    Something's stirring in the silence (hey, hey)
    And it reeks of passive violence (oh)
    Hold on tight this opportunity we'll take,
    Put an end to all this suffering before it gets too late
    Hopes on the horizon
    I'm not giving in

    We're children of the universe don't you know
    Dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own
    Just children of the universe

    We're shining like diamonds
    With love in our hearts
    They said it's the end but I've a feeling
    It might just be the start
    As I am awakened with fire in my bones
    Standing beside you I've a feeling that I'll never walk alone

    We're children of the uni, children of the uni,
    Children of the universe don't you know
    Yeah dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own
    'Cause we are children of the universe
    Just children of the universe
