Lyrics
[Opening — One Piano Note, Low Cello, Crowd Murmuring]
[The father stands in the center of the town square. The crowd waits. He looks at the workers, the mothers, the elders, the young people. He recognizes something familiar in their faces.]
[Verse 1 — Male Solo, Restrained Baritone]
I know the weight of a working man's hand,
The dirt on his shoes, the ache where he stands.
I know what it means to give all you've got,
And still have no say in the things that you've not.
I've seen men build what they cannot own,
Raise up a kingdom that never feels home.
And I have watched good people bow their heads,
While somebody else decides how they live.
[Movement II — Syncopated Piano, Brushed Drums, Strings Rising]
I didn't come here to make a speech.
I came looking for someone out of my reach.
But standing among you, I understand—
A kingdom is nothing without its hands!
[Chorus — Male Solo, Strong and Soulful]
WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
For the right to have a voice!
For the right to choose the people
Who will speak for us by choice!
WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
Not because we're born to reign,
But because the lives we're living
Should be ours to help shape!
[Movement III — Sondheim Counterpoint Begins]
FATHER — Sung:
Who decides who leads us?
ENSEMBLE — Overlapping:
Who decides? Who decides?
FATHER:
Who decides who speaks for us?
ENSEMBLE:
Not the bloodline! Not the crown!
FATHER:
Who decides what we become?
ENSEMBLE:
Let the people write it down!
FATHER — Building:
If we work upon this land,
If we build it with our hands,
Then we ought to have a say
In the choices made each day!
[Movement IV — Full Orchestra, Soulful Groove, Layered Ensemble]
FATHER:
One vote for the baker, one vote for the maid,
One vote for the worker whose wages are delayed.
One vote for the mother who's raising the next,
One vote for the elder they haven't heard yet!
ENSEMBLE — Interweaving Rhythms:
No crown decides us!
No birthright defines us!
No family owns us!
No throne can confine us!
FATHER:
Not every voice will sing the same song,
Not every choice will prove right or wrong.
But give us the chance to decide our own way—
A voice in the future we're building today!
[Final Chorus — Powerful Male Lead, Ensemble in Full Voice]
WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
Let the people make the choice!
Not a kingdom ruled by blood,
But a kingdom built by voice!
WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
Let a new day now begin!
If the people choose their leaders,
Then the people must be heard within!
[Ending — Orchestra Resolves, Crowd Continues Softly]
FATHER — Sung, Quietly:
I came here looking for my daughter...
[He scans the crowd, but no one hears him over the gathering's growing chant.]
ENSEMBLE — Softly, Then Stronger:
Our voice. Our choice.
Our voice. Our choice.
FATHER — To Himself:
And I think I've found something worth bringing her home to.
[The orchestra rises as the crowd begins marching together through the square.]
[END OF NUMBER]
