Now is the time
Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out their problems and iron out their quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember we all had mothers
Make this land a better land
In the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
And I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
I know we can make it work (I know that we can)
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
And make this land a better land
In the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
And I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
I know we can make it work (I know that we can)
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
Make this land a better land
In the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
And I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well that we can work it out
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
I know we can make it work (I know that we can)
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna yes we can can
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, great gosh almighty
Yes we can, I know we can can
