Roses are red sometimes
And violets are blue kind of
We're not afraid to win
Empowered by the words "Yes we can"
And how much power is in those words?
We want to know, said the birds
The power of the words "Yes we can"
Well before we talk about them
Well let's talk about Batman
ย
Is he faster than a locomotive?
And can he jump buildings in a single bound?
But no, none of that stuff, not even close
His main power is that he's willing to try
Does he, does he have x-ray vision?
Or can he bend steel in his bare hands?
Nope, but he's got power
Because he believes in himself
Okay, now let's talk about the words "Yes we can"
Does that give you the power to eat pancakes at three in the morning?
Yes it does and yes we can
And can we go to the movie Waterboy and
Just sit in the back row and make out?
Yep, 'cause we got the power
We might as well use it
Empowered by the words "Yes we can"
We are the kings and the queens and the dukes and duchesses
Of the modern world
We are the folks in the right lane
With one difference, we're not in New York City
How much power is in them words?
We are young, ask the birds
Give it a try, we're three-five
We got power going easy
Roses are red maybe
Violets are blue maybe
We ain't afraid to win
Empowered by the words "Yes we can"
Empowered by them words
And how much power is in them words?
We want to know, said the birds
To Bob Dylan
I am more than willing
To utilize the power
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Yeah, yeah, yeah
