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, iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
Try to find the peace within
Without stepping on one another
Do respect to 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 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)
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
Great gosh almighty, yes we can, I know we can can)
You got to take care of the children
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 you give
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 help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
(I know that we can)
I know darn well that we can work it out

Why can't we? If we wanna yes, we can can)
