People have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It's decreed the people rule.

Shower the people you love with love.
Show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will (do as I say, yeah).
Shower the people you love with love.
Show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
