Yes We Can

Yes We Can © 
Sophie Boswell

Let’s paint America purple, by mixing red with blue
Let’s rebuild this mighty country, with a different hue
By using our integrity, instead of weakness and greed
Why don’t we help one another, and all those in need?

Yes, we can; yes, we can
If we all pull together, yes we can

Let’s all resolve our differences; why don’t we all mature?
By broadening our minds; opening our ears, and help to find a cure
For the many imbalances, spread all over the world
It’s easy to see when you look around, how fury’s been unfurled

Yes, we can; yes, we can
If we all pull together, yes we can

Let’s all rebuild America, by starting with our minds
By focusing on the positives, as well as being kind
To all those souls around us, here and abroad
Why don’t we sing in harmony, one mighty loud major chord?

Yes, we can, yes, we can
If we all pull together, yes we can.
