“I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about
real change … I’m asking you to believe in yours.”
- Barack Obama

Yes, being one yourself
you vowed to fight
for all the quiet heroes

With unflagging energy
you invested on the mantles of King and JFK
to ignite the world with a message
of hope, unity and real change

You wrote a new chapter into history
by rising above the waves of race
and propelled yourself into our hearts

Yes, we can bring about change
if we believe in our ability
to bring about change

Yes we can
