Yes We Can Lyrics
Will I Am
- It was a creed written into the founding documents
- That declared the destiny of a nation, yes we can
- It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists
- As they blazed a trail toward freedom, yes we can
- It was sung by immigrants as they struck out
- From distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward
- Against an unforgiving wilderness, yes we can
- It was the call of workers who organized
- Women who reached for the ballots
- A President who chose the moon as our new frontier
- And a King who took us to the mountaintop
- And pointed the way to the Promised Land
- Yes we can to justice and equality
- Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity
- Yes we can heal this nation
- Yes we can repair this world
- Yes we can
- We know the battle ahead will be long
- But always remember that no matter
- What obstacles stand in our way
- Nothing can stand in the way of the power
- Of millions of voices calling for change
- (We want change)
- We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics
- They will only grow louder and more dissonant
- We've been asked to pause for a reality check
- We've been warned against offering
- The people of this nation false hope
- But in the unlikely story that is America
- There has never been anything false about hope
- Now the hopes of the little girl who goes
- To a crumbling school in Dillon are the same
- As the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA
- We will remember that there is something happening in America
- That we are not as divided as our politics suggests
- That we are one people, we are one nation
- And together, we will begin the next great chapter
- In the American story with three words that will ring
- From coast to coast, from sea to shining sea, yes we can
