The Voting Song the last chance for our kind is here and now all that has been before, you're free to own it and what will be is what your mind will allow when the first wheel rolled I was in the forest foraging for food and a safe place when the first words were spoken I was listening mind racing towards dreams without a face when the pyramids rose I was beside them feeling the weight of gravity and time when the first ship sailed upon the oceans I heard the wind and waves make the first rhyme I took the first stage built and sang in Athens and the song I sang came straight from my heart I gazed up at a man spread eagle nailed to a cross and watched the dream of love falling apart in 1617 I was in Florence painting myself into history in 1775 I was in Boston smelling the ocean turn into tea in 1865 I was in Dixie crying tears in a river of blood in 1969 I was at Woodstock finding hope again knee deep in mud all through time all I was dreaming of the first rhyme was made by love all through time before heaven was above the first rhyme all we need is love my first rhyme all I need is love vote for love vote for love vote for love vote for love in 1869 I was in Wyoming proud to be the first to cast a vote in 1870 I was in hiding watching Amendments get new footnotes in 1966 I was in Selma wondering how long laws could be denied in 2000 I was in Palm Beach counting chads and feeling sick inside all through time power corrupts itself love's sublime but all we want is wealth all through time tears flowed and crosses burned hate's a crime blood spilled and no one learned our last rhyme no deposit, no returns faith was lost and found crossing some rivers hope was bought and sold in pills and clubs love was buried under lies that fear delivers for all we use our minds we might as well be bugs but somewhere deep inside the feeling calls out in the night and if you dare to dream dare to remember your love's light and somewhere deep inside you know what is wrong and right and if you dare to be true to the truth in your sight you know you see that life is more than the struggle to survive you know that loving and being loved is the best reason to be alive and we can start again hear the first rhyme just take a walk back to the beginning ot time the beginning of time was just this moment the last chance for our kind is here and now all that has been before, you're free to own it and what will be is what your mind will allow all through time all I was dreaming of the first rhyme was made by love all through time before heaven was above the first rhyme all we need is love my first rhyme all I need is love vote for love vote for love vote for love vote for love

I love you all for coming... for reading all these words for every click feels like more love (I know that sounds absurd) if I could only tell you... one thing more tonight I'd say I wish you could come home with me and be my friends for life |
