Yes We Can
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionistst 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 organised; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose a moon as our frontier; anda 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 to Opportunity and Prosperity
Yes We Can Heal this Nation
Yes We Can Repair this World
Yes We Can
Si Se Puede
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 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 falsee about hope
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillonn 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; tha we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the Amercian story with THREE words that will ring from Coast to Coast; from Sea to Shinning Sea;
YES - WE - CAN
Barack Obama
