Yes. We. Can.

The entire world is awake!
Look at what we've done
The liberty bells have rung
We've made history here today...

O, speak our great hero,
Our citizen of the world!
Let your voice sing
And shake the dust from this nation
Tell her,
"It's time to move forward!
It's time to progress!
Stretch those weary legs
Bearing such heavy burdens
For I will lift you myself!"
We cry tears of joy
You've always had our faith
We trust in your hands
Our nation so great

To our dear runner-up
Sporting coats of red
We respect you so much
Though your campaign is dead
You concede with great honor
You concede with your dignity
Try to sleep well tonight!
Although this nation rumbles with excitement
Shaking its borders with the roars of proud lions
Jostling the Pacific and the Atlantic
Challenging their waves with our own,
The nation is in safe hands,
So do not worry,
Our nation's seasoned servant.

But tonight we won't sleep
But celebrate with dear friends
As we sit back in awe
In this nation born again...
