Yes We Can Lyrics Barack Obama

"Yes We Can is a collage style music video inspired by a speech delivered by Senator and now President-elect Barack Obama following the 2008 New Hampshire primary, derived from similar union catch cries. The song was released on February 2, 2008 by the Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.Am on Dipdive.com and also on YouTube"

Many celebrities were featured in the song and music video. SOT : Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Common, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger, etc

This is the lyrics :

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation
Yes We Can
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes We Can, Yes we can
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes We Can
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots
A President who chose the moon as our new frontier and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality

Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity
Yes we can heal this nation
Yes we can repair this world

Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can
Yes We Can

We know the battle ahead will be long
But always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way
Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

People :
We want change
We want change
We want change

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics
they will only grow louder and more dissonant
We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check
We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

People :
We Want Change!
We Want Change! (I want change)
We Want Change!

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA
We will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests
That we are one people
We are one nation
And together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea :

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
