The lead vocals carry the tune through thoughts of dreams coming true, anger dissipating, and freedom. They have an approachable tone, and pull out an easy melody to give the song a welcoming air. The lyrics read like a personal mission to make a better life, and call out to friends for help. They smack with the phrasing of a campaign speech, and certainly could be used as one.
