Lyrics
[Intro – laid-back reggae guitar strum, soft shaker]
Sun rise over MICAL’s shore
Our story’s knocking at the door
[Verse 1 – rolling bassline, conversational vocal flow]
They say they’ll take what they want if we don’t stand our ground
Send someone to drag her back where they think she belongs
But man makes the choice, the One above holds the end
Life’s too short to let the moment slip again
[Pre-Chorus – building organ swell, rising vocal intensity]
We’ve seen their games, we know their empty lies
No more letting them steal our truth, no more compromise
Like John said, what you can’t carry, you gotta drag it through
This fight’s for us, we’re coming for what’s due
[Chorus – full band, call-and-response, catchy melodic hook]
Do the right ting, vote Ingraham, he knows our struggle’s real
Dyie’s the man to bring us back, let the new love heal
Independent voice, heart of gold that fire can’t melt
MICAL stand up, shout it loud, this is how we help
[Verse 2 – rhythmic handclaps, storytelling vocal tone]
He was born here, lived here, felt every tear we’ve cried
No politician’s tricks, just sense to turn the tide
Not a doctor, not a lawyer, just a man with a plan
To lift us up, not keep us down, to make our future stand
[Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies, tighter drum groove]
We’re tired of settling for crumbs from their table
Tired of their games that leave us unable
To be who we are, to take what’s ours
This time we’re fighting with all our power
[Chorus – amplified horns, crowd vocal ad-libs]
Do the right ting, vote Ingraham, he knows our struggle’s real
Dyie’s the man to bring us back, let the new love heal
Independent voice, heart of gold that fire can’t melt
MICAL stand up, shout it loud, this is how we help
[Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, intimate vocal delivery]
Sometimes what you need’s right in front of your eyes
Stop looking back, dust it off, let the hope arise
He’s no jumping jack, he stands on what’s true
When it counts, he’ll do the right ting for me and you
[Solo – soulful saxophone riff, reggae rhythm guitar]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Final Chorus – full ensemble, maximum energy, crowd sing-along]
Do the right ting, vote Ingraham, he knows our struggle’s real
Dyie’s the man to bring us back, let the new love heal
Independent voice, heart of gold that fire can’t melt
MICAL stand up, shout it loud, this is how we help
[Outro – fading guitar, soft crowd chant]
Do the right ting, vote Ingraham
Our future’s in our hands
