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.

This poem  was transcribed  from the video posted here: http://www.yeswecansong.com

Here are links to an MP3 audio file of the new song, "Yes We Can," inspired by the Barack Obama Speech. You can download this song and play it on your MP3 players.    http://www.loveallpeople.org/yeswecan.mp3

Legalities: The people who produced the video apparently posted it to You Tube, themselves. By this action, as I understand the law, they have given implied permission for everyone to copy and use it. I have transcribed the poem from the video and have copied he soundtrack to MP3 (at lower fidelity), and I hereby give up any possible copyright claims I might have to the MP3 or to the transcription of the poem.

Blessings to you. May God help us all.
