(Verse 1)
In the land of Venezuela, where the tension's high,
Election day approaches, beneath a troubled sky.
Maduro's reign continues, with an iron grip,
But Machado steps forward, hoping for a shift.
(Chorus)
Oh, Venezuela, where will you go?
In this storm of change, what will you show?
Leaders clash, and the people know,
The future's uncertain, let the ballots flow.
(Verse 2)
Maduro’s ruled with power, silencing dissent,
Media under siege, voices can’t relent[^1].
Opponents jailed, democracy's in strife[^2],
Citizens long for freedom, a better life[^3].
(Chorus)
Oh, Venezuela, where will you go?
In this storm of change, what will you show?
Leaders clash, and the people know,
The future's uncertain, let the ballots flow.
(Bridge)
Edmundo cries for justice, hopes to break the chain,
In the shadows of oppression, dreams remain[^4].
International eyes are watching close[^5],
A nation's fate, a turning point, who knows?
(Verse 3)
Maduro tightens grip, election's shadow cast[^6],
History repeats, echoes of the past.
But the people's voices rise, they won't be quelled,
In their unity and hope, their strength is held.
(Chorus)
Oh, Venezuela, where will you go?
In this storm of change, what will you show?
Leaders clash, and the people know,
The future's uncertain, let the ballots flow.
(Verse 4)
Through Maduro’s acts, the darkness spreads,
Opponents disappear, democracy shreds[^7].
But Machado stands, with courage bold[^8],
In the hearts of many, her story’s told.
(Chorus)
Oh, Venezuela, where will you go?
In this storm of change, what will you show?
Leaders clash, and the people know,
The future's uncertain, let the ballots flow.
(Outro)
In the land of Venezuela, dreams are bright,
With every vote cast, they seek the light.
Through the trials and the fight, they'll grow,
In the heart of the people, a new tomorrow.
