I'm trying to get all of you people to believe
All the things all of us could achieve
With people power (oh yeah) (people power)
People power (oh yeah) (people power)
It's a strength that no one man can fight
But we need everybody to show their might
We need people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's demanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's commanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's understanding
That one man can't bet on our lives
We need militants, Panthers, and Ku Klux Klan
To stop fighting and come on and join hands
We need people power (oh yeah) (people power)
People power (oh yeah) (people power)
There's no reason for a few of us to demonstrate
When we need everybody to participate
We need people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's demanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's commanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's understanding
That one man can't bet on our lives
The day has come for all people to be one
Let's stop the hate, we need everybody to participate
The truth is shining bright and togetherness is soon in sight
Piece be unto you my brother and my beautiful sister
I'm tryna get all these people to believe
All the things all of us would achieve
With people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
It's a strength that no one man can fight
But we need everybody to show their might
We need people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's demanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's commanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
It's understanding
That one man can't bet on our lives
People power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need that people power (oh yeah) (people power)
We need it (people power) got to have it (people power)
We gotta agree, still find the meaning in people power
(People power, people)
Give your hand, find some love, and join people power
(People power, people)
We need it (people power) got to have it (people)
Need some people power (people power, people)

And give people power (people power, people)
What it is, what it is, what it is

It's understanding
What it is, what it is, what it is
