Yes We Can
nows the time for all good men
to get together with one another
we've gotta iron out problems
and try to livge as brothers
try and find peace of mind
without steepin on each other
and do respect the women of the world
remeber you all have mothers
we gotta make this land a better land
in the world in which we live
we gotta make each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give
i know we can make it
i know darn well that we can work it out
yes we can
And we've gotta take good care of the children
the children of the world
cause there the strongest hope for the future
the little bitty boys and girls
we gotta make this land a better land
in the world in which we live
we gotta make each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give
i know we can make it
i know darn well that we can work it out
