We can

A lot of people doubted me
They laughed in my face
Said: There ain't no way
I would finish that race
But I kept my head down
And laced up my shoes

I ran a marathon when no one thought I could
I didn't always want to
But I said that I would
And I learned a lot about what I can do

It doesn't matter if they don't believe
It doesn't matter if they do not understand
'Cause every dream that I'm trying to achieve
I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can

So make a list and do not make it brief
Write down every single wish and every little thing that you want
Don't sell yourself short
Don't ever hesitate if people turn you down
Do not settle, do not wait, don't ever turn around
'Cause you're almost there, I swear
I swear it's yours

And all that matters is there's no regrets
It doesn't matter if they do not understand
'Cause everything you want you haven't gotten yet
You can, you can, you can
You can, you can, you can

Right now on this planet there are things that we can fix
There are people going hungry, a lot of them are kids
And it's so unfair
They're scared and all alone
Wars are being fought over land and over God
And we need a different plan
'Cause I think that we've forgot
That we're all the same
We're just love and blood and bones

It doesn't matter if they think we're wrong
It doesn't matter if they do not understand
'Cause every obstacle we need to overcome
We can, we can, we can
