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 --
