Yes We Can! - Si, Se Puede! - Barack Obama

 

 

 

Yes We Can! - Si, Se Puede!

 

 Barack Obama

 

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.

 

 

 

Will.I.Am - Yes We Can Song Info

 

“Yes We Can” is a song

inspired by a speech delivered by Barack Obama

following the 2008 New Hampshire primary,

derived from the union catchcry “Yes we can”.

The song was released on February 2, 2008

by the Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am

on Dipdive.com and also on YouTube

under the username ‘WeCan08′.

Although the lyrics are entirely quotations

from a speech delivered by Sen. Obama

in New Hampshire during the 2008 campaign,

his campaign had no involvement in its production.
The music viral video,

shot in a sparse black-and-white,

features Barack Obama’s image in collage fashion;

the performers comprise a veritable Greek chorus

echoing his words in a hip-hop call-and-response manner

as his voice plays in the background.
