Lyrics
YES WE CAN ©JC Tubbs 9/13/2001/
Verse 1 When we?re lost in total darkness
Can we make it through the night
And if we all work hard together
Can we gain strength as we unite
And with one voice tell those against us
The light of freedom still burns bright
YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
Verse 2 Can we learn to love our neighbors
Who dress differently than us
Can we arm our weary soldiers
With compassion and with trust
And can we hang on to our courage
As we wipe away the dust
YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
Chorus YES WE CAN stand tall together
YES WE CAN do anything
YES WE CAN now and forever
YES WE CAN let freedom sing
Verse 3 Once we wipe away the tears
Can we not lose site
And if we keep our candles burning
Can we start to see the light
Can we rebuild our cities
Where so many dreams have died
YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
Chorus YES WE CANm stand tall together
YES WE CAN do anything
YES WE CAN now and forever
YES WE CAN let freedom sing
YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
