Yes We Can                  ©2008 Marsh Brodeur

Every famous person in history
Started out as a kid, just like me
And just like the bees in a honeycomb
They got help from their neighbors and the folks at home
They learned that they could do anything at all.
No matter the problem or the size of the wall

Chorus:

Can you keep on climbing that wall 
Yes we can

Can you keep on climbing right to the top

We can keep on climbing that wall. 
Yes we can

Higher/Higher/Higher/Higher

Watch us prosper watch us grow
Take one look and you will know
We got the whole world in our hands
And were spreading the word all across this land

We are the future, yes that’s true
And everything we learn, we learn from you

Chorus:

Grownups please don’t forget what you learned in school.
The number one lesson is the golden rule.
Don’t be afraid of people who are different than you.
Let them talk about themselves and their point of view.
Remember that words are powerful things.
Like “Love thy neighbor” and “Let freedom ring”

Chorus:

So can you feed the hungry Yes we can
and sooth the restless           Yes we can
Can you aid the sickly           Yes we can
Can you house the homeless  Yes we can
Can you share your wisdom    Yes we can
Can you teach us joy                Yes we can
To play nice with others          Yes we can
And to share our toys               Yes we can
So can you share your wisdom
But most of all
Can you help our planet
To climb that wall?
