Lyrics Now's the time for all good men To get together with one another Iron out their problems and iron out their quarrels And try to live as brothers And try to find peace within Without stepping on one another And to respect the women of the world Just remember we all had mothers Make this land a better land Than the world in which we live And help each man be a better man With the kindness that you give And I know we can make it (I know that we can) I know darn well we can work it out 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, world I know we can make it if we try Yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can, great gosh almighty Yes we can, I know we can can Take care of the children Children of the world They're our greatest hope for the future The little bitty boys and girls Make this land a better land Than the world in which we live And help each man be a better man With the kindness that you give I know we can make it (I know that we can) I know darn well we can work it out Yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can can, why can't we If we wanna, yes we can can We can make it I know we can make it if we try Yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can, great gosh almighty, yes we can I know we can can, yes we can I know we can can, yes we can Why can't we if we wanna, yes we can can Yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can, great gosh almighty Yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can I know we can can, can can Why can't we, if we wanna, yes we can can Yes we can I know we can can, yes we can Great gosh almighty Yes we can I know we can can
