Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
A million workers working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Now, now, now, now
Oh well, power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Yeah, power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

For Egypt and Syria as well
Many have noted that corruption in Russia is rife and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a privileged few but data show that income inequality has also risen in the United States and United Kingdom over the past 20 years. This income distribution has been a global trend amongst the most powerful nations so a change in mentality must begin everywhere. So in as much as it is incumbent on Russia's people to change direction or Egypt or Syria it is also incumbent on the Occupy Wall Street movement to do the same in the U.S.
World leaders have gotten themselves into this mess with influence from the U.S. so if this world is truly going to change it must change in the U.S. where the example is often drawn. And so we wait.....the American spring.
Since God loves and values the souls of all we should focus on the 99% and show them the compassion and understanding of God rather than curry to the interests of the 1% that reward in this life.
As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming
