Original Song #21 - On Election Day

I wrote this song a few months ago.

I was watching the U.S. Presidential Election results slow-roll in.

It was raining outside and my guitar was keeping me company as usual. So, you just let the muse take you on a journey.

Sometimes, you don’t get to vote.

Song Background:

Just a warning. Not all songs appear to say what they say to all people.

Shout Out:

To all Americans of all stripes, on all teams red, blue or multicolored, on the sidelines or in the dumps, take the next step forward to heal yourself … and the nation.

Chords:

Verse:     Fmaj7 - C - G    
Chorus:  Am - Csus2 - Am - G           

Lyrics:

It's raining outside today
The world weeps on election day
Will the sun shine in the USA
There's a cold wind to blow away

Are you brave enough to see?
That I'm not your enemy
We all thrive in harmony

Is this the start of the decline?
Watching the fall in real time
Is the soul of the nation gone?
Can the young gens carry on?

Are you brave enough to see?
That I'm not your enemy
We all thrive in harmony

Are the skies in Gaza blue?
There's no one left to see the view
There's a strange glow in the air
As the helpless ones turn to prayer

Are you brave enough to see?
That I'm not your enemy
We all thrive in harmony

It's raining outside today
The world weeps on election day
