We Can Do Better ‘08 (for Barack Obama) Cats and dogs got nothin\' on us The way we fight, the way we fuss You say high, I say low You say stop, I say no We been walkin\' on the dark side of the moon But a change is due and it can\'t come too soon I do believe (you and me together) Together, we can do better A brand new day together Together, we can do better Shake off the fear stand up to the night Takes more strength to make love than it does to fight The big wheel turns, it\'s comin\' around We\'re gonna find our feet on common ground Rise above the strife and stress With compassion and tenderness Drop the gloves walk into the light Takes more courage to make peace than it does to fight I do believe (you and me together) We can do better A brand new day together Together, we can do better We been down so long it looks like up to me And if it\'s up to me I\'ll rise up and say I still believe! Together, we can do better A brand new day together We can do better You and me Together, we can do better A brand new day together Together, we can do better We can do better You and me
