This time must be different
Change is what's happening
Change belongs to you
Yes, we can
Yes, we can
There's no time for indifference
Don't you know how truly blessed you are?
Mother's tears fall when you hurt yourself
While others wait to watch you fall apart
Please forgive these crimes against myself
And I'll forgive your lack of faith
Yes, we can
Make it to the promised land
Yes, we can
I know we can
Yes, we can
Make it to the promised land
Yes, we can
I know we can
Yes, we can
The promised land
This time must be different
Change is what's happening
Change belongs to you
Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Challenge ourselves to reach for something better
Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Those you take into your confidence
Can you trust them, trust them with your heart?
No one knows you like you know yourself
You're in control right now, but you might go too far
Oh yeah, I say
Please forgive these crimes against myself
And I'll forgive your lack of faith
Yes, we can
Make it to the promised land
Yes, we can
The promised land
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can (Yes, we can, yes, we can)
Make it to the promised land (Yes, we can, yes, we can)
Yes, we can (Yes, we can, yes, we can)
I know we can (Yes, we can, yes, we can)
Yes, we can
Make it to the promised land
Yes, we can
I know we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
Yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can
This time must be different
Change is what's happening
Change belongs to you
Yes, we can
Challenge ourselves to reach for something better
Yes, we can
Yes, we can
