G5
Everywhere I dare to go,
the corners that I turn
I'm sure to see a face I know,
someone who doesn't earn
       C
That's all I ever get to hear
is other people's woe
        G
Let's climb into a rocket and
we'll press the one and go
    C                          G
Although they say it can't be done
       C                     G
Don't say to me it can't be done

Looking how we used to be,
the way and what we wore
The things we hoped the future
held but always wanted more
If God had meant for man to fly
he would have given wings
He didn't, so we have to make
the best of everything
So let's not say it can't be done
Although they say it can't be done

Chorus:
       C      D                    A
Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
            F         C       G
That there ain't no chance at all
D               A
Anybody can be right or wrong
            F         C       G
When there ain't no chance at all

Half the world is in a mess,
the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me
I wish that I could tell
It won't be long until we push
the button I am sure
So throw away the key while
I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done

Chorus

Half the world is in a mess,
the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me
I wish that I could tell
It won't be long until we push
the button I am sure
So throw away the key while
I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done
Let's pray and pray it can be done
Just pray and pray it can be done
