Yes We Can (Part 1) - Lee Dorsey

Now is the time for all good men

To get together with one another

Iron out our problems, iron out our quarrels

And try to live as brothers

Try to find the peace within

Without stepping on one another

Do respect to the women of the world

Just remember that we all have mothers

Make this land a better land

Than the world in which we live

And help each man be a better man

With the kindness that you give

And I know we can make it

(I know that we can)

I know darn well that we can work it out

(Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can)

I know we can make it work

(I know that we can)

I know we can make it if we try

(Yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can

Great gosh almighty, yes we can, I know we can can)

You got to take care of the children

Children of the world

They’re our strongest hope for the future

The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land

Than the world in which we live

And help each man be a better man

With the kindness that you give

And I know we can make it

(I know that we can)

I know darn well that we can work it out

(Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can)

I know we can make it work

(I know that we can)

I know we can make it if we try

(Yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can

Great gosh almighty, yes we can, I know we can can)

You got to take care of the children

The children of the world

They’re our strongest hope for the future

The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land

Than the world in which we live

And help each man be a better man

With the kindness that you give

I know we can make it

(I know that we can)

I know darn well that we can work it out

(Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can)

I know we can make it work

(I know that we can)

I know darn well that we can work it out

(Yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can

Great gosh almighty, yes we can, I know we can can)

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can

Why can’t we?

If we wanna yes, we can can

You got to go the extra mile

You got to live it and breathe it and see it You got to bring it all home

Make this land a better land

Got you and me and everybody let you see it The day on the street

You got to take care of the children

They’re our strongest hope for the future
