Story Behind The Song
I've been playing prop-peace gigs for a few months and wanted to create a Seeger-like song. I woke up one morning with the phrase "power of the people power of the Soul" in my mind.

Lyrics
We got the power of the people, got the power of the soul.
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.
Get up fast and take moral stand,
Don't let lies and bigotry, be the rule of 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.
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.
Get up and Say it, you know what is right.
No children in the prisons, No teargas in their eyes.
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.
Climate change could kill us, get green or we will die,
Lets decide not kill each other, Let's join hand in hand.
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.
We got the power of the people, got the power of the soul.
