Jingle bells are a ringin'
Carollers are singin' (fa la la la)
Been doin' a lotta thinkin'
Bout' YouTube n Linked In

Folks have a lotta interest
On Gab and on Pinterest
They seem to like Hip Hop
On SnapChat and Tik Tok

Big Tech is up to it's neck
Been cuttin' big checks
To left wing dilinquents
Can I get a witness?

Been callin' the shots -- from the shadows
Have we plumb lost -- the battle?
They treat us like sheep -- or cattle...
We're up a creek -- without a paddle!

We need to lay down our weapons
And declare a truce
We need to learn our lesson
And get back to our roots

It won't be as odd as it seems
Our cause may be pickin' up steam
We need to turn off our screens
And turn on--turn on our dreams
(turn on our dreams)

Been callin' the shots -- from the shadows

And declare a truce

And get back to our roots

It won't be as odd as it seems
Our cause may be pickin' up steam
We need to turn off our screens
And turn on--turn on our dreams
Turn on our dreams...

Turn on Our Dreams

Songwriter. Storyteller. Sound pioneer, Stan Countz is a genre-bending songwriter with over 300 original songs under his belt — a true craftsman of lyric and melody. From his debut track “Those Hap Happy Days” in 2005, a nostalgic tribute to the golden era of the ’50s and ’60s, Stan has built a musical legacy rooted in meaning, melody, and message.

Writing under the moniker Stan and Be Counted, he stands tall in the world of music as both a creator and a voice of purpose. His catalog spans a kaleidoscope of genres — from contemporary Christian rock and gospel to EDM, country pop, blues, R&B, hip hop, folk, and beyond. Each song is a reflection of his passion for storytelling and his desire to uplift, challenge, and connect.

Whether crafting soul-stirring love ballads, foot-tapping jingles, or heart-pounding hard rock anthems, Stan brings a rare blend of versatility, depth, and soul to every track. He doesn't just write songs — he writes moments you can feel.

Stan Countz is more than an artist — he’s a movement. A call to stand... and be counted. He is a prolific lyricist and lives in Denison, Texas with his artist/photographer wife.
