This track was written and recorded in 2010 in San Francisco, CA. Featuring Travis Porter De Leon on drumkit, Kevin Njikm on keys and guitar, Jared May on bass and Mama Crow on lyrics, main vox and harmonies. These musicians played LIVE for about 2 years in and amongst the Bay Area from 2009-2011. Before traveling to Hawaii, Mama Crow got in the studio with the band @ SERA PHI STUDIOS in the Mission to document this musical era.  

The content of this song is a true story of how to overcome hardships from the past and to consciously choose light in every moment. This song acknowledges the shared human truth of adversity yet focuses on overcoming all challenges regardless how dark the shadow to live an awakened life of empowerment. This is an anthem for everyone who embraces transformation on a day to day basis.

Ability to Change (Mama Crow w/ Band of Mystics)

SEEDS

my brother lives in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son come with him
one day to come
my sister her hands are raised
for the stakes are high and she knows it
and i am singing for her vision
singing for her vision

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the seeds we've sown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the gardens we've grown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

one day
none shall be imprisoned
for tending the land
for feeding our children
one day
we will cherish the soil
valued more than gold
its value more than gold

one day our hands will raise
for the way we walk and how we own it
and i am singing for this vision
singing for this vision

(Vocal polyphony)

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the gardens we've grown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the seeds we've sown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

my brother live in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son to
come with him one day
taste the roots he was born from
pass him the story how all
hands came together as
one
