She Thinks I Can

Bobby Bare

(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...
