Story Behind The Song

(There is also a short PSA version of this song.) "...If everyone who could vote would vote, what a different world it would be..."

Song Description

Dylan meets Delerium with a dash of gospel. This dance song reminds us, in an uplifting way, that our freedom is precious and that we can disagree on politics but still love our neighbors.

VOTE 4 ♥ / FREEDOM

FREEDOM ..... WANT FREEDOM ....

Who takes the time to read the paper
Who?s got the guts to watch the news
Endless pictures from the war zones
Interviews with who?s got whose
Politicians from the Stone Age
Playin? games they win .... we lose
City streets burn up in outrage
?Cuz nobody cares enough to choose
choose... FREEDOM!

CHORUS :
FREEDOM .... FREEDOM ....
(Apathy is lethal -- the answer is Love)
But ya gotta
VOTE FOR LOVE
But ya gotta
VOTE FOR LOVE
(Tiene que votar)

Swear to God we love our freedom
But don?t ask me to take a stand
Too busy watchin? all the reruns
Too busy strikin? up the band
What?s the difference who?s elected
If nothin? changes anyway
Will life go on as we expect it
Will we survive for one more day
without FREEDOM!

CHORUS

BRIDGE :
(Imagine: If everyone who could vote would vote
What a different world it would be?.)

Why don?tya vote (why don?tya) sign up & vote
(What a different world it would be?.)
Why don?tya vote (why don?tya) stand up & vote
(If everyone who could vote would vote)
Why don'tya vote
(What a different world it would be?.)

But ya gotta
VOTE FOR LOVE
VOTE FOR LOVE


People cry out for solutions
Then walk away and wonder why
Well it?s right there in the Constitution
You vote for yours & I?ll vote for mine
FREEDOM!

CHORUS :
FREEDOM .... FREEDOM ....
But ya gotta
VOTE FOR LOVE
VOTE FOR LOVE
(Apathy is lethal -- the answer is Love)
But ya gotta
VOTE FOR LOVE
VOTE FOR LOVE

? WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP OUR FREEDOM!?
