THE AMERICAN
(CAN DO)
NOW I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK OR SAY
I GOTTA WRITE A BRIGHTER SONG ANYWAY
AND I GOTTA SAY I’M SIMPLY TRYIN’ TO BE WHAT I’M ABOUT
AND I BELIEVE TOGETHER WE CAN WORK IT OUT AND
I BELIEVE AMERICA CAN DO IT
(THE AMERICAN CAN DO)
‘CAUSE WE DO IT EVERY TIME WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT AND
(THE AMERICAN CAN DO)
I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN CAN DO IT
(THE AMERICAN CAN DO)
AMERICA CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO
I CAN SAIL A SHIP ACROSS THE STORMY SEA
AND CREATE A NEW LAND I CALL THE BRAVE AND FREE
AND THEN SAIL A SHIP TO THE MOON
I AM THE AMERICAN AND I CAN DO AND
Refrain:
IT’S TIME TO SAY IT’S TIME TO SAVE THE WORLD
FOR I AM THE VOICE OF EVERY MAN WOMAN BOY AND GIRL
SIMPLY TRYIN’ TO BE WHAT I’M ABOUT
AND I BELIEVE TOGETHER WE CAN WORK IT OUT AND
Refrain:
Ending: AMERICA CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT
THE AMERICAN CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO IT YEA WE CAN DO IT
WE CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO CAN DO TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT etc.
