Can and Can't

Idag när jag kom till jobbet hade banken laserat en ny kampanj: CAN. Ni som bor i Australien kommer säkert se delar av den på tv reklamen. I alla fall så handlar den om att i mötet med kunder byta ut ordet can't till can. Jag tycker att det borde göras även i vardags livet. Den här versen var med kampanj materialet som är värd att tanka på.

There's a four-lettered word
As offensive as any
It holds back the few
Puts a stop to the many.

You can't climb the mountain
You can't cross the sea
You can't become anything you want to be.

He can't hit a century
He can't find a cure.
She can't cross the world at sixteen that's for sure.

Can't is a word with a habit of stopping
The ebb and flow of ideas
It keeps dropping itself where we know in our harts it's not needed
And saying "don't go"
when we could have succeeded.

But those four little letters
That end with a T
They can change in an instant
When shortened to three.

We can take off the T
We can do it today
We can move forward not back
We can find our own way.

We can build we can run
We can follow the sun
We can push we can pull
We can say I'm someone
Who refuses to think
That life can't be better
With the removal of one
Insignificant letter.
