 “YES YOU CAN”
(verse 1)
Listen, gather round I found something that you can
use
And if you listen, well, I’m here to tell you, you
cannot lose
A simple song, simple melody, to remind you that
you can be
The greatest ever, defeated never, even though
sometimes you may lose

 “YES YOU CAN”
(Chorus)
Yes you can, you can do anything if you try, just try
Yes you can, but you have to believe and rely on what
you have inside
You can make it through your trials, for your trials
will just make you strong
You can do anything, yes you can, oh

 “YES YOU CAN”
Teach your children well, it’s time to tell them just
who they are
Train them as they go to let them know that they can

Oh my brother why do you wait, tomorrow night just
be too late
For God gave the provision, made the decision, you
can do all things through your faith
