Lyrics

Yes I Can (female version)
Hugh James Hardman, Rick Mathews, Steve Belkin

Rosa was a girl from a 'bama town
took a seat where the sign said don't sit down
she wouldn't get up, she didn't give in
she changed the world that we're living in

I can still remember what my mama said to me
Life ain't always easy, when you stand up for what you believe
Ever wonder

If Susan Anthony never said I want to vote
Little Amelia never took the first flight
Would Sally Ride ever ride a rocket around the world
I'm that kinda girl
I could be the president, do anything a man can
play for the Yankees , even hit a grand slam
To those who say "No you can't"
I say "Yes I can"

Somewhere there's a girl, somewhere there's a wife
Somewhere there's a dream that'll change a life
Aint no way of knowin' who it's gonna be
It might be you , it might be me

The only thing that matters is what matters most to you
Life's to short to sit around
when there's a million things that you could do
ever wonder

Chorus

. . . and will do anything that I set my heart to
ain't that what a dreamer's born to do . . . ever wonder

Chorus

I could be a soldier, or a scientist, a fireman
A mother of three, someone's beautiful wife
To those who say "No you can't"
They just don't know who I am
I tell 'em "Yes I can"
