She Thinks I Can

(Shel Silverstein)



(Okay, hold it kids, hold it! Listen!

I wanna sing a song now especially for mama.

Okay? This is for mama.)



She looks at me with the eyes of a child

She thinks I can reach out and turn back the tide

And I'm just a man and I can't work no wonders

But she thinks I can so I try.



She follows me down the dark pathways I'm leadin'

She's still believing that I'll find the way

And I tell her I can't give her all that she's needin'

But she thinks I can so I may.



I may find a way to turn darkness to suinshine

I may find a rainbow behind the next hill

But with her beside me and heaven to guide me

Lord she thinks I can so I will.

I may find a way to turn darkness to suinshine

I may find a rainbow behind the next hill

But with her beside me and heaven to guide me

Lord she thinks I can she thinks I can so I will.



I will, Lord, I will...
