Hey, listen to the working man

And can you hear the dream

That resides in his soul?

And when you hear that poor man singin'

Can you hear a story

That cries to be told? Want to hear you say "Oh yeah"

I need to hear you say "Oh yeah"

It's time to stand up and be counted

These are the days of our beginnings

This ain't the time for the faint of heart

No don't want to lose

The chance we are given

These are the best years of our lives

The very best years of our lives Oh yeah, hear the song of womankind

Carried 'til she ached

Now she's takin' her stand

Says she's got the right to be

Right beside and equal with ev'ry man Want to hear you say "Oh yeah"

Need to hear you say "Oh yeah"

It's time to stand up and be counted

These are the days of our beginnings

This ain't the time for the faint of heart

No don't want to lose

The chance we're given

These are the best years of our lives

The very best years of our lives

Say "oh yeah" Say it now, and just say it right

If you truly believe it,

You'll be saying it right. So say "oh yeah"

Gotta say "oh yeah"

It's time to stand up and be counted

Better days are just beginning.

There ain't no place to run and hide to

Don't throw away

The chance we're given.

These are the best years of our lives

The very best years of our lives Say "Oh yeah"

"Oh yeah"

Say "Oh yeah"

Say "Oh yeah"

These are the best years of our lives
