Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – E minor, G major, D major, A major)

Silhouettes of life in shadows, (G)
Inking my voice on a piece of paper, (D)
Fighting for a world to savor. (A)”

We find power, we find means, (G)
To turn the tide, to light the beams, (D)
In the Ballot of Broken Dreams.” (C)
(Verse 2 – E minor, G major, D major, A major)
“Underneath the starlit skyline, (Em)
In the queue, biding my time, (G)
Voting for a change, a new design, (D)
In the ballot, our hopes align.” (A)

“In the Ballot of Broken Dreams, (C)
We find power, we find means, (G)
To turn the tide, to light the beams, (D)
In the Ballot of Broken Dreams.” (C)
