We Died For That Right

by David Farrar


We died for that right
To cast in our vote
To decide how to live
>From a ballot like note

We died for that right
For a free spoken voice
And to elect as our leader
Who is best for our choice

We died for that right
So decisions can be made
And our right as a people
Won't wither or fade

We died for that right
To choose where we learn
And where we can live
>From the profits we earn

We died for that right
To share in this land
And not live as slaves
Or policed by the man

Though we died for that right
We're still at a loss
Because our people don't vote
And we pay for that cost
