If there is anyone out there Who still doubts that America is a place where All things are possible Who still wonders If the dream of our founders is alive in our time Who still questions The power of our democracy, tonight is your answer It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches In numbers this nation has never seen By people who waited three hours and four hours Many for the very first time in their lives Because they believed that this time must be different That their voice could be that difference It's the answer spoken by young and old Rich and poor, Democrat and Republican Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American Gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world 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) (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, yes we can) Hello Chicago I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to It belongs to you We didn't start With much money or many endorsements Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington It began in the backyards of Des Moines And the living rooms of Concord And the front porches of Charleston It was built by working men and women Who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars And ten dollars and twenty dollars to the cause It grew strength from the young people Who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy Who left their homes and their families For jobs that offered little pay and less sleep It grew strength from from the not-so-young people Who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat To knock on the doors of perfect strangers And from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized And proved that more than two centuries later A government of the people, by the people and for the people Has not perished from the earth This is your victory This is our time To put our people back to work And open doors of opportunity for our kids To restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace To reclaim the American Dream And reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one That while we breathe, we hope And where we are met with cynicism, and doubt And those who tell us that we can't We will respond with that timeless creed That sums up the spirit of a people 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) (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
