The Power is a 1968 film based on the science fiction novel The Power by Frank M. Robinson. Directed by Byron Haskin, it stars George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleshette. The film concerns a pair of men with the ability to slay somebody with their minds.
Professor Jim Tanner, a biochemist, discovers evidence of a person with psychic abilities among his co-workers in a research laboratory. His colleagues include geneticist Margery Lansing, physicist Carl Melkinen, biologist Talbot Scott and chairman N.E. Van Zandt, all working for Navy officer Arthur Nordlund.
After a warning from Henry Hallson that one among them possesses a super-intelligence capable of destruction and mind control, Hallson is found murdered with the name "Adam Hart" scrawled nearby. His widow Sally Hallson says it is the name of a childhood friend.
Tanner is the prime suspect of a police investigator named Corlane. As he tries to uncover the superhuman, his associates are methodically murdered until Tanner faces a showdown with the killer, an apparently undefeatable opponent. In the end, Nordlund is revealed to be Adam Hart. Hart's psychic assault awakens Tanner's own latent psychic powers, and Tanner kills Hart. Tanner realizes that he was the superhuman uncovered by Hallson's tests, and that Hart was trying to eliminate any competition from others like himself.

Wale:
Who woulda thought that the little running back
With the dickerson mask
Would be getting in the ass of opponents
Witness what i'm showing
And I don't need no center or guard, to get him open
(Hold up) I used to run powers and draws
Now im trickin with the strippers, the power of the draws
And I don't run counters no more
But I took a fly route to an opposite shore
Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease
But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give, give me, give me the power
I've got the power to fly into the wind
The power to be free to die and live again
This power's like fire, fire loves to burn
Make the world a grave of ashes in an urn
The power in the darkness to see without my sight
Walk among the living free of wrong and right
The power of the magic the power of the spell
Not to serve in Heaven but one day to rule in Hell
Power the power the power
This power's greater than love and of hate
This is the power of will and of fate
The power to kill the power to feel
The power of blood the triumph of steel
Greater that the power of a priest or a sinner
The power to defy to fight and be the winner
The power of the demons spirits I command
Always by my side to serve the master's plan
Power the power the power
None can fight the power none can fight the wind
Secrets of all life and death are carried there within
Call out to the power of the darkness and light
Have dominion of the earth be lord of all the night
Kill all those who stand against you look into their eyes
Drink their blood and laugh as they pay for all their lies
Piss upon their graves then cast a final spell
Fly into the night and one day meet in Hell
I've got the power, hey yeah heh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah

Mother Mary, Mother Mary
I want the power, I want the power
I want the power, I want the power
I want the power, I want the power
Mother Mary, please answer my prayers
I want to run free and I need you to be there
I'm going to take some chances I never took before
I've got to live my life and I'm going to risk it all
I look to the sky and suddenly I know
I've made up my mind, I'm never letting go
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
To make me run, to make me see for real
It's the power I want to let me do what I feel
To make me run, to make me be for real
Unlike a miracle or a wish upon a star
The power to be me is all I need to start
To do things I'll never regret
And to leave the rest behind
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
To make me run, to make me see for real
It's the power I want to let me do what I feel
To make me run, to make me be for real
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
To make me run, to make me see for real
It's the power I want to let me do what I feel
To make me run, to make me be for real
You're the one to only help me
The only one, so help me, help me
Give it to me, to me, to me
Oh Mother Mary, please, please, please, please
Please just help and watch me shine
Then watch the power make me fly away
Mother Mary, Mother Mary
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
To make me run, to make me see for real
It's the power I want to let me do what I feel
To make me run, to make me be for real
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
It's the power I want, it's the power I need
It's the power I want, it's the power I need

A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone

The power drives me crazy
A flowers grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive

I wanna know when the sun goes down
I wanna know when the clouds goes away
I wanna know where is the end of this day
Then my soul'll fly away
While I was away she told me one day
It was the end of the game
Before the war, when the wind disappears
Then lonely birds flies away
We've got the power
We'll fight 'till the end
We've got the dreams of knights
Together forever 'till end
I wanna know when the end will come
I have to prepare for the fight
Weather I'm ready, or weather I'm not
We have to fight for our rights
There is no time to pay our debt
For numbers of nameless gods
We have to fight, we have to survive
I have sold myself through and through
I have walked in the darkness too
Felt a red sun, the living proof
Washed my hands in the honest truth
I have carried this weight time after time
I have bettered the dumb and the blind
I've seen dignity fail and colours run
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun
And we walk, yes we walk
And we walk with the power every day
Never letting the light slip away
Reaching out, reaching in
Touching truth and touching skin
Never letting the light slip away
And we walk with the power every day
If my faith is a fire then burn baby burn
We've held fire long enough to learn
Heat beneath hope is a healing light
Kept alive by the flames of night
Walk tall in the power day after day
Never, never, never lose sight of the way
See the dawn come and the dusk hang
