Title:
“Vote with Your Heart”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – A minor, E minor, G, D)
In the heart of the Rockies, where the air is thin,
We found our voices, and let them ring,
Underneath the stars, we played our guitars,
Singing for freedom, under the mountain bars.
(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Vote with your heart, let it guide your hand,
In this mountain land, we make our stand,
Vote with your heart, let your voice be heard,
In every single word, let freedom be stirred.
(Verse 2 – A minor, E minor, G, D)
From the peaks to the valleys, we spread the word,
Telling the stories that need to be heard,
With our songs of hope, we help others cope,
In the face of adversity, we give them the rope.
(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Vote with your heart, let it guide your hand,
In this mountain land, we make our stand,
Vote with your heart, let your voice be heard,
In every single word, let freedom be stirred.
(Bridge – F, C, Dm, Em)
Through the power of our music, we’re taking flight,
Shining a beacon, in the darkest night,
With every strum and beat, we won’t admit defeat,
With our songs, we’ll make them retreat.
(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Vote with your heart, let it guide your hand,
In this mountain land, we make our stand,
Vote with your heart, let your voice be heard,
In every single word, let freedom be stirred.
