Everywhere I dare to go, the corners that I turn
   I'm sure to see a face I know, someone who doesn't earn
   That's all I ever get to hear is other people's woe
   Let's climb into a rocket and we'll press the one and go
   Although they say it can't be done
   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
  
   Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
   That there ain't no chance at all
   Anybody can be right or wrong
   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
  
   Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
   That there ain't no chance at all
   Anybody can be right or wrong
   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
   Let's pray and pray it can be done
   Just pray and pray it can be done
