Lyrics

Now is 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

Try to find the peace within
Without stepping on one another
And to respect the women of the world
Just remember we all have 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 we give

I know we can make it work
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 work
I know darn well we can work it out
Yes we can, I know we can can, Yes we can can,
Great god almighty, yes we can, I know we can can

Take care of all the children,
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future,
The little bitty boys and girls.

We got to 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 we give

I know we can make it work
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 work
I know darn well we can work it out
Yes we can, I know we can can, Yes we can can,
Great god almighty, yes we can, I know we can can
