It Is So Simple, Vote
A nation of troubles is what I see
people pretending there is no greed
lies are told and babies killed
some take money, their lips are sealed
a long time ago on this very ground
a group of wise men wrote things down
they had a plan to make things right
working together through many a night
a constitution of laws for our land
they wrote them all with quill in hand
these to be honored all through our land
they were written on paper not drawn in the sand
a leader must lead and bring forth the truth
this is their job and what they were elected to do
people elect with the power of votes
state by state by everyday folks
the time is near we will vote again
our voices will be heard across this land
do what is right, follow the laws
it is up to the people if we stand or fall
