Yes We Can

Yes we can.
Can't we coerce our own dreams to reality?
Can't we stick by and shield our own rights?
Can't we like lions fright away those wolves?
Can't we like birds nourish our children?
Can't we like bees construct our own roads?
Yes we can.
Can't we, if coped to mount from ash twist into thriving rocks?
Can't we like them bestow aid to puerile states?
Can't we like the heart impel peace to our regions?
Can't we alter our presidents from hedonism?
Can't we sanctify our lands both to nosh us and provide for market?
Can't we craft our harvest to win finer worth on global souk?
Can't we haul up our flag in G.20 pinnacle?
Yes we can.
Can't we sing, interpret books, and operate technology the whole lot from our own inventions?
Can't we set our own millennium goals?
Can't we also oversee in their elections?
Can't we end next stage, until we board our own invented planes, buses…?
Can't our own language be the official one?
Yes we can.
Can't our engineers head in our own mines?
Can't our professors govern in our own institutions?
Can't our doctors operate in our emergency rooms?
Can't we give heed to our culture?
Can't we pronounce our own autonomy?
Can't we hoist soaring high our flag of freedom?
Yes we can.
