We can sing - over the warm green fields
We can sing - through the cities of our land
We can sing - down by the old dirt road
We can sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters
We must sing - to save our warm green fields
We must sing - to save our golden land
We must sing - over our video nation
We must sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters..
The children cry -but we can sing for food to feed them
The leaders lie - but we can drown their voices too
It's you and I - don't let the cynics deceive you
We can sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters
Some say we're naïve - but so were all the dreamers
You've got to believe - before you can do
What was meant to be - is what we reach to change now
We can bring - the world into our hands..
Oh we can bring – if we can sing
Oh we can sing – and we can bring
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to stop global warming
For our sons and daughters
We can sing…
We can sing - through the cities of our land
We can sing - down by the old dirt road
We can sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters
We must sing - to save our warm green fields
We must sing - to save our golden land
We must sing - over our video nation
We must sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters..
The children cry -but we can sing for food to feed them
The leaders lie - but we can drown their voices too
It's you and I - don't let the cynics deceive you
We can sing - the world is in our hands
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to lift up our voices
For our sons and daughters
Some say we're naïve - but so were all the dreamers
You've got to believe - before you can do
What was meant to be - is what we reach to change now
We can bring - the world into our hands..
Oh we can bring – if we can sing
Oh we can sing – and we can bring
I want to breathe the clean air
I want to drink cool crystal waters
It's time to stop global warming
For our sons and daughters
We can sing…

Lyrics and Music by Rob Lincoln
"We Can Sing is perhaps the most idealistic song I ever wrote. Originally an anti-nuclear power environmental anthem, now updated for global warming
This song is about taking action on the environment. Never played it to anyone and it was so outdated with the "no nukes" line I just changed it to an "let's end global warming" line and now it seems a bit more relevant. I try more harmony on this one.
Listener comments have included: " 'World is in our hands' has really nice harmony. Somehow I'm thinking it needs a different vocal sound maybe Indigo Girls. Words on on target."
