-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding
documents that declared the destiny of a
nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists
as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out
from distant shores and pioneers who pushed
westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized;
women who reached for the ballots; a
President who chose the moon as our new
frontier; and a King who took us to the
mountaintop and pointed the way to the
Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but
always remember that no matter what obstacles
stand in our way, nothing can stand in the
way of the power of millions of voices
calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a
chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder
and more dissonant ........... We've been
asked to pause for a reality check. We've
been warned against offering the people of
this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America,
there has never been anything false about
hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to
a crumbling school in Dillon are the 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 politics suggests; 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.

Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson,

VOTE BARACK '08. YES WE CAN!
Check out: www.youbama.com
According to will.i.am, founding member and
frontman of Black Eyed Peas, the "Yes We Can
Song" was inspired by Senator Barack Obama's
2008 presidential campaign and especially the
speech Obama gave following the New Hampshire
primary. He states, "It made me reflect on
the freedoms I have, going to school where I
went to school, and the people that came
before Obama like Martin Luther King,
presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved
the way for me. . . ." Dylan says, "The
speech was inspiring about making change in
America and I believe what it says and I hope
everybody votes."
The music video includes excerpts from
Obama's speech and appearances from several
celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend,
Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul
Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam
Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon.
"I'm blown away by how many people wanted to
come and be a part of it in a short amount of
time. It was all out of love and hope for
change and really representing America and
looking at the world," will.i.am said.

I was sitting in my recording studio watching
the debates...
Torn between the candidates
I was never really big on politics...
and actually I'm still not big on politics...
but 4 years ago, me and the black eyed peas
supported Kerry...
And we supported Kerry with all our might...
We performed and performed and performed for
the DNC...
doing all we could do to get the youth
involved...
The outcome of the last 2 elections has
saddened me...
on how unfair, backwards, upside down,
unbalanced, untruthful,
corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world
and "politics" are...
So this year i wanted to get involved and do
all i could early...
And i found myself torn...
because this time it's not that simple...
our choices aren't as clear as the last
elections ...
last time it was so obvious...
Bush and war vs. no bush and no war...
But this time it's not that simple...
and there are a lot of people that are torn
just like i am...
So for awhile I put it off and i was going to
wait until it was decided for me...
And then came New Hampshire...
And i was captivated...
Inspired...

people say Obama's words are just words...
but...
when was the last time "words" weren't
important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't
use words to lead...??...
when was the last time a person didn't use
words to describe how they felt...?...
when was the last time "words" weren't
empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words"
were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for
him the second time around...
terror this...
terror that...
nuclear here...
weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's
choices...
"enough is enough"...
let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves...
let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action....
let's activate our passion...
we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that
someone running for president represents
"US"...
some say this is all excitement...
I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult
like"...
well...
if it comes across cult like...
then...
the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our
importance...
the youth is excited and activated...
adults are passionate and motivated...
the elderly are proud to know the country
they built is in safe hands...
we are one...
for too long politics has been corrupt...
separate from the American people...
with agendas that go against what the
American people "need"...
education...
health...
safety...
jobs
etc...
politicians have spoken a different
language...
making it so the youth and poor people feel
as if voting was only for the wealthy and old
people...
making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice...
making "US" feel powerless...
making it feel like if "we" did vote it
wouldn't change anything...
but wait...
that did happen...
some of us voted, and it didn't change
anything...
we were in the dark...
we had no voice...
we were powerless...
because America was not a united America...
and "they" spoke a different language...
and they had an agenda different from our
well being...
correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm
missing something...
we want education, health, safety, and good
jobs...right???...
oh yeah...
and "a healthy planet to live on"...
but here we are...
in a war... poor education... poor health
programs... the dollar is down... the planet,
polluted...
the rich, richer... and the poor,
struggling...
with sky high gas prices to top it all off...
and now even the rich aren't really rich
internationally because our dollar is has
fallen so far down...
in our slumber... a very small few got really
rich...
because when you're sleeping...
"it's hard to change agendas"...
we know what happened in 2000 and 2004...
but in 2008...
it's different...
we are awake...
and there is a movement...
and "it's hard to change a movement"...
last time "we" didn't have a movement...
America wasn't united...
and now "United and "Standing"...for
something...
we know the power of "US"...
and we have a person who represents the
"U.S."...
"US"...
"we are the ones we've been waiting for"...
I'm proud to be an American...
