about

Yes We Can - Allen Toussaint

V1
Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out their problems
And iron out their quarrels
And try to live as brothers

And try to find peace within
Without stepping on one another
And 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 you give

And I know we can make it
(I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we want it 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

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great, gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
V2
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

And I know we can make it
(I know that we can)
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 want it 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
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great, gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
