Yes, We Can!

For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
Yes, We Can!

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 through the darkest of nights.
Yes, We Can!

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes, We Can!

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; 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. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world.
Yes, We Can!
