We want change.
For the hopes of the little girl
Who goes to the public school in Dillon
Are 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 politcs suggest.
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.
