I know that we can make it if we try
Remember you all have mothers
I know we can make it
We got to iron out our problems
We got to make this land a better land
And we got to help each man be a better man
(I know that we can)
Yes we can can, why can't we?
The little children of the world
I know darn well we can work it out
I know we can make it
(Oh yes we can, I know we can can)
(Oh yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can)
I know we can make it if we try
With the kindness that we give
And we got to help each man be a better man
(Oh yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can)
With the kindness that we give
And do respect the women of the world
Than the world in which we live
We got sure matter
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
And iron out our quarrels and try to live as brothers
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
We got sure matter
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna yes we can can
If we wanna yes we can can
(I know that we can)
And try to find a piece of land
(Oh yes we can, I know we can can)
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Than the world in which we live
I know darn well we can work it out
The little bitty boys and girls
I know we can make it work
And we gotta take care of all the children
Without stepping on one another
We got to make this land a better land
I know we can make it work
