Song & video, featuring a star
cast, by will.i.am of The
Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by
Barack Obama's 'Yes We Can'
speech.

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.

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 ballots; 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.

We know the battle ahead will
be long, but always remember
that no matter what obstacles
stand in our way, nothing can
stand in the way of the power
of millions of voices calling
for change.

We have been told we cannot do
this by a chorus of
cynics...they will only grow
louder and more dissonant
........... We've been asked
to pause for a reality check.
We've been warned against
offering the people of this
nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that
is America, there has never
been anything false about
hope.

Now the hopes of the little
girl who goes to a crumbling
school in Dillon are the same
as the dreams of the boy who
learns on the streets of LA;
we will remember that there is
something happening in
America; that we are not as
divided as our politics
suggests; that we are one
people; we are one nation; and
together, we will begin the
next great chapter in the
American story with three
words that will ring from
coast to coast; from sea to
shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.
