Yes You Can
Ramon N. Crenshaw 1955 (North Carolina)
Just because they say you can't,
Doesn't mean you can't.
Yes you can.
Just because they say it hasn't,
Doesn't mean you can't.
Yes you can.
Just because they say you won't,
Doesn't mean you don't,
Yes you can.
They say you can't because they couldn't.
They say you won't because they didn't.
They say you shouldn't because they wouldn't.
Just because they say you can't,
Doesn't mean you can't.
Yes You Can.
