[Intro]
(Verse 1)
We watch from the sidelines, we stand in the crowd,
The world’s spinning fast, but we’re quiet and proud.
We say we want change, but we never show up,
Voices are silent while they fill the cup.
We want better schools, clean air, better laws,
But if we don’t vote, we can’t stand for the cause.
It’s easy to talk, it’s easy to complain,
But if you don’t step in, you’re part of the game.
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re letting them choose, we’re letting them lead,
Apathy’s poison, it’s all we need.
But when the dice roll, and the cards are dealt,
Don’t be surprised when it’s your fate that’s felt.
(Chorus – Power Hook)
If you don’t vote, you can’t cry,
If you stay silent, don’t ask why.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for,
The world keeps turning, but you’re left at the door.
So stand up, speak out, don’t let them decide,
The price of silence is too high a ride.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for.
(Verse 2)
They’ll tax your home, cut your health, raise the cost,
You’ll feel the weight of the things you’ve lost.
They’ll change your world, but you didn’t play,
Now you're stuck with the price that you didn’t pay.
The kids on the corner, the youth with a dream,
They stayed home, didn’t care about the scheme.
Now they’re facing laws they could’ve fought,
But they’re paying the price for the battles they forgot.
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re letting them choose, we’re letting them speak,
Our future’s too precious to leave to the weak.
So when you wake up, don’t point at the score,
The world won’t change if you’re just keeping score.
(Chorus – Power Hook)
If you don’t vote, you can’t cry,
If you stay silent, don’t ask why.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for,
The world keeps turning, but you’re left at the door.
So stand up, speak out, don’t let them decide,
The price of silence is too high a ride.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for.
(Bridge – Spoken)
Every voice is power, every hand is a choice,
The future’s not coming, it’s here with your voice.
They’ll draw the lines, they’ll shape the land,
But if you don’t show up, you’re letting them stand.
You’re letting them win, you’re letting them take,
The things that matter for your children’s sake.
(Chorus – Power Hook)
If you don’t vote, you can’t cry,
If you stay silent, don’t ask why.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for,
The world keeps turning, but you’re left at the door.
So stand up, speak out, don’t let them decide,
The price of silence is too high a ride.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for.It’s your world, it’s your choice,
Raise your voice, raise your voice.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for,
So stand up, don’t let it slip,
The future’s in your hands, make it grip.
You’ll get what you don’t vote for.
