We Got the Power

If you want to change you life……who’s got the power

If you want to set things right…….who’s got the power

Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power

Are you speaking up for yourselves? …we got the power
Are you speaking up for your friends? we got the power
Are we speaking up around NY State? we got the power
Are you speaking up around the USA? we got the power

Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power

Do you want to hire your own staff? …...we got the power
Or lead others along the path……………we got the power
Can we change some hearts and minds…we got the power
Is it time to draw the line………………..we got the power

It’ in our hearts………………….we got the power
It’s in our minds……………… we got the power
It’s in our voices………………...we got the power

Will it be in our choices…………we got the power

If you want to change you life……who’s got the power

If you want to set things right…….who’s got the power

Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the power
Who’s got the power…………… we got the poweri[

Nothing about us with out us….. .we got the power
We’re creating our own futures... we got the power

We’re in control of our lives……we got the power

With our circle of support………we got the power

Independent and free …………......we got the power
With the support we need ……... ...we got the power
Living with the people we choose.. we got the power
Real homes not nursing homes…. ..we got the power

We’re citizens too…………………we got the power
There’s so much we can do………. we got the power
We’re part of out community……...we got the power
We’ll be all we can be……………. we got the power
