Yes We Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out the problems and iron out their quarrels
And try to live as brothers
Try to find the peace within
Without stepping on one another
Do respect the women of the world
Just remember we all had 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 we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well 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 we can make it, try
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Take care of all the children
the children of the world
'Cause 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 we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well 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 we can make it if we try
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
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 we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well 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 we can make it if we try
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
Yes, we can, can
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
Yes, we can, can
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
Yes, we can, can
Yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
Yes, we can, can, yes we can
