music by: Phil Morrison, 
                  Keith Williams
words by: Phil Morrison

Yes We Can! 
That's what he's always said.
Barack Obama!

Yes We Can! 
That's what he's always said. 
Barack Obama!
 



People 'round the world - cheer the mention of his name
You see there's something special in this man
From Paris to Beijing - the voices say the same
Barack Obama,  Yes We Can!!

You could feel the happiness - after his election
Peace between all nations is the plan
His words proclaim..World Unity.. is now the right direction
Barack Obama,  Yes We Can!!

The violence and warfare - we do to one another
Does it matter how our children feel?
To fight against your enemy's to fight against your brother
We're One Human Family....that's for real!

Yes We Can!  That's what he's always said. Barack Obama!
Yes We Can! That's what he's always said. Barack Obama!

"Change" is the battlecry - to find a new solution
Everyone can lend a helping hand
All the nations 'round the earth will work to fight pollution
Barack Obama, Yes We Can!!

His background's international....color..black & white
Although America is his homeland
He's the champion for All people and he will do what's right
Barack Obama, Yes We Can!!

The violence and warfare - we do to one another
Does it matter how our children feel?
To fight against your enemy's to fight against your brother
We're One Human Family....that's for real!

(additional verses 2010...not on recording)

        "Don't Ask Don't Tell" - a policy he made to disappear
        Equal rights for all is our demand
        Noone in this country should be made to live in fear
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can!

        Health Care is a service that we need for everyone
        His deep concern from when his term began
        Many tried before him - but Obama got it done
        Barack Obama.....Yes, We Can!

        Unemployment, poverty....both need elimination
        His words and deeds all tell us where he stands
        Raising up the standards of our childrens' education
        Barack Obama.....Yes, We Can!

        9/11 came and we saw the brave responders
        Saving people through the dust and sand
        Now there's legislation - ignoring them no longer
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can!

        The world moves toward disarmament - nuclear reduction
        The building of more bombs is now banned
        Passage of the "S T A R T Bill"  limits their production
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can!

        International harmony he's striving to attain
        Soon our troops will leave Afghanistan
        The image of America is back to "good" again
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can!

        The industry for autos in this country is now back
        The best cars are not only from Japan
        With help they got from Washington - sales are back on track
        Barack Obama.....Yes, We Can!

(additional verses 2011)

        Committed to the goal that our country come together
        Just listen to his message from Tucson
        That words we say have consequences and may last forever
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can

        Inherited big problems from the last administration
        Solving them for us is why he ran
        We can "Win The Future!" ...his words of inspiration
        Barack Obama....Yes, We Can!

         Yes We Can!
         That's what he's always said.
         Barack Obama!    ....We're Fired Up!!!
         Yes We Can!

         That's what he's always said.
         Barack Obama!

        (....to be continued as we approach the 2012 election....:-)
