Yes We Can

Words and Music by Chris Thompson and Harold Faltermeyer


Where we went wrong is not important now
And were we're going nobody knows
But one certainty of our time will be
Paying up and reaping whatever we sow
Will the rivers run, is there hope for anyone
Cos nothing is for sure, no nothing any more
Down the road until there's a new resolution
People searching for a flame
Only time will tell if we learned our lessons well
And put aside our differences, put aside it all

Yes we can, save the world around us
Hand in hand, and fighting for our lives
United we stand, we're looking to the future
Cos there's no escape, we can't fly away

Life is serious for a new generation
We walk away from the walls that hold us in
Though they seem so high, when you're reaching for the sky
We owe it to the future, we owe it all

Yes we can, save the world around us
Hand in hand, and fighting for our lives
United we stand, for the future generation
Cos there's no escape, we can't fly away
Cos there's no escaping, we can't fly away
