Trey Knowles’ “Power Belongs to the People” is a hopeful anthem that calls out the wrongdoings of tyrants and urges unity among people. The song encourages listeners not to fight politicians out of anger, but to stand up for the poor and the vulnerable, showing that together, we have the power to create a better world.

00:00I give you the authority to trample over snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you.
00:10Power belongs to the people.
00:13Power belongs to the people.
00:16Power belongs to the people.
00:20I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
00:23I don't want to be a president.
00:25I don't want to be a prime minister.
00:27That's not my business.
00:30I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
00:32I should help everyone as possible.
00:34Jew, Gentile, black man, white man.
00:37We all want to help one another.
00:39Human beings are alike.
00:41We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
00:45We don't want to hate or despise anyone.
00:48This world has room for everyone, and the good earth can enrich and provide for everyone.
00:55The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we get lost away.
00:58Greed, have poisoned men's soul, have barricaded the world with peace, into misery and bloodshed.
01:06We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in machinery that gives us abundance, and that left us to want more.
01:17Our knowledge has made us cynical.
01:19Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
01:22We think too much, and we feel too much.
01:24More than machinery, we need humanity.
01:27More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
01:29Without these qualities, lives will be violent.
01:34All will be lost.
01:38Technology, have brought us closer together.
01:42The very nature of these inventions cries out for the fitness of men.
01:46It cries out for the universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all.
01:50Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world.
01:54Millions of despiring men, women, who are children.
01:58Victims of a system that makes them torture and prison and innocent.
02:03To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.
02:07The misery that is now upon us, but the passing of greed.
02:10The bitterness of men.
02:12Fear the way.
02:13Human progress.
02:14The hate of men will pass.
02:17The dictator will die.
02:18And the power that took upon the people will return to the people.
02:22And as so long as men died, liberty will never perish.
02:32Soldiers, don't give yourself to men who despise you, enslave you.
02:37Who makes your lives hard.
02:39Tell you what to do.
02:41What to think.
02:42How to feel.
02:43Who drill you.
02:45Diet you.
02:46Treat you like cattle.
02:47Use you as cannon.
02:49Don't die for nothing.
02:51Don't give yourself to these unnatural men.
02:54Machine men.
02:55With machine minds and machine hearts.
02:58You are not machines.
03:00You are not cattle.
03:01You are men.
03:03You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
03:06You don't hate.
03:07Only the unloved hate.
03:08The unloved and the unnatural ones.
03:11Hate.
03:11You are soldiers.
03:13Don't fight for slavery.
03:15Fight for liberty.
03:17The kingdom of God is within man.
03:19Not one man.
03:20Not a group of men.
03:21All men.
03:22I give you the authority to trample over snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.
03:34Nothing will harm you.
