Marc is best known for the songs "Where You Are" and "Home." Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's Momentary Setback which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on Carencro. As of July 2005, "Home" was released as a single.
Although Broussard is rather unknown, he is characteristically known and critically praised for his strong vocals. However, he has garnered an uptick in popularity thanks to a snappy tune "Must Be The Water" which is featured in television commercials on TNT for the 2008 NBA All-Star game held in New Orleans.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to get together with one another.
Iron out our problems and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers.
Try to find a piece within
without stepping on one another.
Do respect the women of the world.
Make this land a better land
than the world in which we live
and help each man be a better man
with the kindness that you give.
And I know we can make it.
(I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out.
(Yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna yes, we can can)
You got to take care of all the children,
the children of the world.
They're our strongest hope for the future,
the little bitty boys and girls.
Make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
and help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.
And I know we can make it.
(I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out.
(Yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna yes, we can can)
And I know we can make it work
(I know that we can)
I know we can make it if we try
(Yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can, great gosh almighty,
yes, we can, I know we can can)
You got to take care of all the children,

with the kindness that we give.
And I know we can make it.
And I know we can make it
(I know that we can)
I know darn well that we can work it out.
(Yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna yes, we can can)
And I know we can make it work
(I know that we can)
I know darn better we can work it out,
(Yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can, great gosh almighty,

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can
Why can't we? If we wanna yes, we can can

Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can
Why can't we? If we wanna yes, we can can
Yes, we can, I know, we can can, yes, we can can
Why can't we? If we wanna yes, we can can
You got to go the extra mile
You got to live it and breathe it and see it
Uhhh

Make this land a better land
Got you and me and everybody let you see everyday on the street
You got to take care of the children
They're our strongest hope for the future
