[Verse 1: will.i.am and friends singing, Barack Obama speaking] 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 Oh, 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
[Hook: Various Artists] 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 - ohhhh! We can... (Yes we can!) Yes we can - ohhhh! We can...
[Verse 2: will.i.am and friends singing, Barack Obama speaking] Yes we can, to opportunity and prosperity Yes we can, to opportunity and prosperity Yes we can heal this nation (Heal this nation!) Yes we can repair this world (Repair this world!) Yes we can
[Hook: Various Artists] 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 - ohhhh! We can... (Yes we can!) Yes we can - ohhhh! We can... Sí, se puede!
[Verse 3: will.i.am and friends singing, Barack Obama speaking] 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 want change! We want change! We want change! We want change!) (We want change! We want change! We want change! We want change!) We want change...we want change... We want change... I 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 (We want change! We want change! We want change! We want change!) (We want change! We want change! We want change! We want change!) I want change... it's all gonna change I want change... I want change... I wanna change
[Verse 4: will.i.am and friends singing, Barack Obama speaking] 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 L.A 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
