| Now is the time for all good men | 
| To get together with one another | 
| Iron out our problems, iron out our quarrels | 
| And try to live as brothers | 
| Try to find the peace within | 
| Without stepping on one another | 
| Do respect to the women of the world | 
| Just remember that we all have mothers | 
| Make this land a better land | 
| Than the world in which we live | 
| And help each man be a better man | 
| With the kindness that you give | 
| And I know we can make it | 
| (I know that we can) | 
| I know darn well that we can work it out | 
| (Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can |

| I know we can make it if we try | 
| (Yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can | 
| Great gosh almighty, yes we can, I know we can can) | 
| You got to take care of the children | 
| Children of the world | 
| They’re our strongest hope for the future | 
| The little bitty boys and girls | 
| Make this land a better land | 
| Than the world in which we live | 
| And help each man be a better man | 
| With the kindness that you give |
