“A NEW DAWN”_YES WE CAN {SOUNDTRACK OF AMERICA} Dedicated to America and President-Elect Barack Obama Music produced by Al Fraser {Manchester, England} for smoothbeatsonly.com Lyrics and Vocals by Reverend Robert L.. Johnson {Norfolk, Virginia USA} November 9, 2008 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
