Congratulations, Mr. President.
-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.
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 to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
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.
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.
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.
