Excerpt from lyrics:
People Have The Power
by Patti Smith
*
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power…
*
The power to dream / to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it’s decreed the people rule
it’s decreed the people rule
National Book Award winner Patti Smith was the donor of the now-destroyed tent for the People’s Library at #OccupyWallSt. She had won the award for her autobiographical book Just Kids about her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
