First time voting
Go ahead
Step into that booth
And take that bigger step
To adulthood from youth
Or maybe you’re starting
At age fifty eight
Whatever your year
It’s never too late!
To play your part
In how things are run
From the very highest office
Down to Proposition One
If you’re angry, upset
This is your chance
Sitting this out
Is like watching others dance
And who knows, maybe
This one will be tied
And YOUR vote will be what
Makes us decide
So step into that booth
Shoulders proud, and tall
The only wrong choice
Is not voting at all
