Yes We Can

Lyrics: Allen Toussaint
Music: Allen Toussaint

Sung by Cass McCombs with Phil Lesh & Friends in 2018.

Now's the time for all good men to get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems and iron out our quarrels and try to live as brothers
And try to find peace within without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world, remember you all had mothers
We got to make this land a better land than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give
I know we can make it I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna, yes we can can
I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Yes we can, I know we can can

And we gotta take care of all the children, the little children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future, the little bitty boys and girls
We got to make this land a better land than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna, yes we can can
I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Yes we can, I know we can can
