Hello! This is Uncle Sam

and I'm here to tell you that whether your hair’s blonde, black, blue, or gray...

one day you'll have your own say.

on or after your 18th birthday

You'll be able to cast the vote which just might sway

who will be the next president of the USA.

And who knows?! Maybe someday you’ll become one.

Because any natural born citizen over thirty-five can run.
