We Can - Jesse Ruben

A lot of people doubted me

They laughed in my face

Said there ain’t no way

I would finish that race

But I kept my head down

And laced up my shoes

I ran a marathon

When no one thought I could

I didn’t always want to

But I said that I would

And I learned a lot about what I can do

It doesn’t matter if they don’t believe

It doesn’t matter if they do not understand

Cause every dream that I’m trying to achieve

I can, I can, I can

I can, I can, I can

So make a list and do not make it brief

Write down every single wish

And every little thing that you want

Don’t sell yourself short

Don’t ever hesitate if people turn you down

Do not settle, do not wait, don’t ever turn around

Cause you’re almost there, I swear

I swear it’s yours

And all that matters is there’s no regrets

It doesn’t matter if they do not understand

Cause everything you want you haven’t gotten yet

You can, you can, you can

You can, you can, you can

Right now on this planet there are things that we can fix

There are people going hungry, a lot of them are kids

And it’s so unfair

They’re scared and all alone

Wars are being fought over land and over God

And we need a different plan

Cause I think that we’ve forgot

That we’re all the same

We’re just love and blood and bones

It doesn’t matter if they think we’re wrong

It doesn’t matter if they do not understand

Cause every obstacle we need to overcome

We can, we can, we can

It doesn’t matter if they think we’re wrong

It doesn’t matter if they do not understand

Cause every obstacle we need to overcome

We can, we can, we can

We can, we can, we can

We can, we can, we can

We can, we can, we can
