Now's the time for all good men
To get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece of land
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all have mothers
Bridge:
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
Chorus:
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, oh why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can
I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can (great gosh almighty)
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
And we gotta take care of all the children
The little children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
(Bridge)(Chorus)
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
I know the harder ways to treat him like you oughta than just what this is all about
Don't you know we can work it out
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Now as a time all the people come to dinner as an equal
Take the bread and give all the kinds of love to one another
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
How can you sit back like there's nothing to do
Just like you don't care what the world's coming to, Lord!
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
There's gonna be harder like what people say
No matter how hard where there's a will there's a way
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
We gotta build the road
Every boy and girl
