INDEPENDENCE DAY
DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE
X
X
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are
Life,
Liberty
and
the pursuit of Happiness.”
X
X
This has been called one of the best-known sentences in the English language,
containing
“the most potent and consequential words in American history”.
The passage came to represent a moral standard
to which the United States should strive.
X
This view was notably promoted by Abraham Lincoln,
who considered the Declaration of Independence
to be the foundation of his political philosophy,
and argued that
the Declaration of Independence is a statement of principles
through which the United States Constitution
should be interpreted…

“PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER“
Patti Smith + Fred “Sonic” Smith 1988
X
X
I was dreaming in my dreaming
of an aspect bright and fair
and my sleeping it was broken
but my dream it lingered near
in the form of shining valleys
where the pure air recognized
and my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
that the people / have the power
to redeem / the work of fools
upon the meek / the graces shower
it’s decreed / the people rule
X
X
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
X
X
Vengeful aspects became suspect
and bending low as if to hear
and the armies ceased advancing
because the people had their ear
and the shepherds and the soldiers
lay beneath the stars
exchanging visions
and laying arms
to waste / in the dust
in the form of / shining valleys
where the pure air / recognized
and my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry
X
X
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
X
X
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
like cream the waters rise
and we strolled there together
with none to laugh or criticize
and the leopard
and the lamb
lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
to recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
god knows / a purer view
as I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
X
X
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
X
X
The power to dream / to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it’s decreed the people rule
it’s decreed the people rule
X
LISTEN
X
I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth’s revolution
we have the power
People have the power …
