**"One Vote at a Time"** *(Verse 1)* In the land of the free, where the flags still fly, The people all gather and they’re told not to ask why. They fill out their ballots with a smile on their face, While the truth is slipping away without a trace. The air is thick with promises, empty and sweet, But the voices of reason are drowned in deceit. *(Chorus)* And it's one vote at a time, One little choice that we make, Spinning the wheel of fate, Not knowing what’s at stake. Oh, it's one vote at a time, Taking us down a road so blind, We’re killing tomorrow today, One vote at a time. *(Verse 2)* The pundits are talking, but their words don’t ring clear, They sell us a future, but they’re blind to our tears. The past is a lesson, but we can’t seem to learn, And the flames of the present continue to burn. They promise us freedom, but it’s wrapped in a lie, While the world keeps on turning, and we’re left asking why. *(Chorus)* And it's one vote at a time, One little choice that we make, Spinning the wheel of fate, Not knowing what’s at stake. Oh, it's one vote at a time, Taking us down a road so blind, We’re killing tomorrow today, One vote at a time. *(Bridge)* When did we stop asking questions, When did we stop seeing the signs? Now we’re trapped in the echoes, Of decisions that aren’t ours to find. The river runs dry, the trees start to fall, But we’re too busy waiting for someone to call. *(Verse 3)* They tell us that change is just a click away, But the tide keeps rising, and we’re losing the day. The sky’s getting darker, the fire’s burning high, And we keep on pretending that the world’s not asking why. *(Chorus)* And it's one vote at a time, One little choice that we make, Spinning the wheel of fate, Not knowing what’s at stake. Oh, it's one vote at a time, Taking us down a road so blind, We’re killing tomorrow today, One vote at a time. *(Outro)* So when the ballot’s in your hand, Think about the land, 'Cause we’re voting away the future, One vote at a time.
