Tell my people I won’t be coming home   I’ll be walking in the streets tonight   Shaking hands with everybody I meet   Saying the king had a dream and now its realized   The king had a dream and now it’s all realized   I saw a man start running   He ran so fast, he began to fly   He flew across America   And then over the world   And if he can do it then so can I   And my children will say so can I    Singing yes we can   Singing yes we can   Singing yes we can   Yes we can   Tell my people I won’t be coming home   I’ll be dancing in the streets tonight   And tell your people they can all come along   There’s a party in the streets tonight   And do you worry bout no Babylon   Cause the man in charge    He looks like iron   We’ll be singing freedom songs till the early morning   So come on join me if u like   Come and join in if u like   Singing yes we can   Singing yes we can   Singing yes we can   And if he can do it then so can I   And my children will say so can I   And my children’s children will say so can I   And we can all say so can I
