Let Freedom RING!
Protect our right to choose - Sarah Parker prompt.
Dawn's early light glimmers over the horizon
We gather, our hearts hopeful and minds clear.
Election day. Win or lose, we must not fear.
Both far and wide, We stand as one, side by side.
Matters not what the ballots say, united we find our way.
With every vote, a voice. In unity, we keep our word.
Honor peace, cherish grace, see light in every face.
Let's pledge, you and I, To lift our spirits to the sky. In this moment, we are strong, In harmony, we belong.
Whatever the outcome, We stand as one, united. For peace and love, we defend, Together, we will mend.
Forget our differences and vote. It is our right to choose.
Tomorrow may not bring the news we yearn
Fireworks may bring pain or cheer
No planned assassinations, no gun powder plots
For Guy Fawkes' end was not a pretty lot.
