Lyrics~
YES WE CAN - Copyright 2008 by Trevor Justice
It's a creed that came alive
In our founding fathers' fight for Independence
It defied common sense
It was sung by immigrants
And pioneers ever since who broke down borders
These three bold words: Yes we can
Throughout history, believing in what could be
Common people dared to change the world
When the critics said they never would
Let's keep that faith alive and say
Yes we can reach the unreachable
Yes we can keep crossing frontiers
Standing as one people, one nation
Joining for a common vision
Brave as pioneers, yes we can, yes we can
It was whispered by slaves
And abolitionists who blazed a trail toward freedom
Through the darkest of nights
When workers took a stand
When women rose up to demand their votes be counted
The world heard them chant: Yes we can
Together we'll write the next great chapter
In the story of America
And the words that chart our destiny
Will ring from sea to shining sea
REPEAT CHORUS
