High upon a mountain top
Gleaming through the stormy night
A small beacon dimly beckons
With a pale, flickering light
Brave words that have been spoken
Echo out across the world
A flag bearing peace, prosperity
Once again has been unfurled
Hope thought frail and faint
Once more burns deep with in
A decent, honest, audacious man
Has lit a candle in the wind
Once more we’ve been inspired
Challenged to reach out to the stars
Once again a leader has asked us
To be much better than we are
Our way is filled with sacrifice
But one day we all will stand
High upon the mountain top
And see the promised land
Perhaps our dreams are too big
Will be lost in times shifting sand
And these words will turn to dust
Yes we can, oh yes we can
Gleaming through the stormy night
A small beacon dimly beckons
With a pale, flickering light
Brave words that have been spoken
Echo out across the world
A flag bearing peace, prosperity
Once again has been unfurled
Hope thought frail and faint
Once more burns deep with in
A decent, honest, audacious man
Has lit a candle in the wind
Once more we’ve been inspired
Challenged to reach out to the stars
Once again a leader has asked us
To be much better than we are
Our way is filled with sacrifice
But one day we all will stand
High upon the mountain top
And see the promised land
Perhaps our dreams are too big
Will be lost in times shifting sand
And these words will turn to dust
Yes we can, oh yes we can
