We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal

In spite of adversity, We the people can make it, we can make it
{Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can}
In spite of all that we’ve gone through as a UNITED People we can make it
{Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can}

We can’t afford to lose, not now

If we could just stop trying to point out how many ways we are different
We could realize how more we have in common
We all need, feed, live, breathe, come here by birth and eventually die…not a lot of difference between you and I
Some of us come from shores too far to reach, Yet in spite of the genius inside some were labeled too hard to teach

But the truth is
Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out
You’re still looking for a New Dawn…Still reaching for higher ground
Sometimes in the darkest night, You gotta wait for the LIGHT hold on change is gonna come

I like my life this way, You like your life that way…In our humanness, maybe we can help each other understand different ways.

If I reach out my hand and you push it away, How can we get an understanding today

Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out
You’re still looking for a New Dawn…Still reaching for higher ground
Sometimes in adversity the only thing left is faith and hope, so hold on

America take a stand…take a stand and say YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN YES, YES ,YES, YES

Give me your tired your poor your huddle masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore send these the homeless, tempest tossed to me
I will lift my lamp beside the golden door


Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out
You’re looking forward to a New Dawn

Oh, this country was built on promises, you can live your life You can choose to hope

And even if we don’t agree, we can agree to disagree
{My country tis of thee, sweet land of LIBERTY, of thee I sing}
But we can still work together for the common good of us all
UNITED we stand divided we fall

Lift every vice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmony of LIBERTY
Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies…Let us march on till VICTORY is won

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
