What Counts

V1: Climate crises, hurricanes, fires & floods
Deforestation, mass extinctions, overprescribed drugs
Depleted soils, pesticides, political thugs
Through Red & Blue - I still see you past controversial hugs

A country divided, systems overrun
Normalʻs not returning a new dawning has begun
Out in the field, beyond wrong & right
Navigate through differences & give up the fight!

Pre Chorus: What are we gonna do?
When itʻs up to me & you?
With 2020 hindsight
Red, Yellow, Black & White

Chorus: Who counts? What counts?  What is essential? 
Changes are happening, this time is monumental!
I count, You count
No matter what the bullyʻs say
I count, You count
Whateverʻs on the news today

V2: A country divided, systems overrun
Normalʻs not returning-  A new dawning has begun
Out in that field- Beyond wrong & right
Navigate through differences & give up the fight!

Solo

V3: Rolling up our sleeves, Cutting back the weeds
Saving those seeds, Dig a little deeper
What will be our legacy? Only time will tell
Become the change we wish to see & plant perennials

Pre Chorus: What are we gonna do?
When itʻs up to me & you?
With 2020 hindsight
Red, Yellow, Black & White

What Counts

I wrote this song in Mt. Shasta in 2006, but it took many years to gestate in the cocoon before combining with TLooPʻs instrumentals to be birthed in this version on my birthday October 15, 2020. This song is dedicated to all who are waking up, remembering & showing up to co-create life affirming versions of "what comes next" through these transformative times.
lyrics
FUTURE MEMORIES

Future Memories create a present paradox
Pay it forward
Pass it back

Veja Deux, Needs both me & you
Veja Deux, Needs both me & you

Pieces of the puzzle, Each one plays its role
All of us connecting can create a greater whole

Veja Deux, Needs both me & you
Veja Deux, Needs both me & you

So align, co-create
Time to step up to our fate
Be the love, stop the hate
And let’s hope it’s not too late

For our future is affected by our presence here and now
Recognize divine in everything
Respect can show us how
Respect our brothers and our sisters
Father sky & mother earth
A new day is being born
We’re midwives for the birth

Veja Deux, Needs both me & you
Veja Deux, Needs both me & you

(solo)

These times weʻve been born for, prophecized so long
People we are ready, loving, centered & strong

Veja Deux, Needs both me & you
Veja Deux, Needs both me & you

Future Memories

Through all the laughter, through all the tears,
Through all the good times, through all the fears
Through all the places, you bring me to
Youʻre here for me, Iʻm here for you

Weʻve made it through so many things
finding our way through all life brings
through all these years, so tried & true,
Youʻre here for me, Iʻm here for you

Through all the ways weʻve lived our lives
sometimes so foolish, sometimes so wise
As we mature & see it through
Youʻre here for me, Iʻm here for you

& once again, youʻre by my side
to celebrate, this gift of life
through all these years, so tried & true
Youʻre here for me, Iʻm here for you

Youʻre feeling me, feeling you
Youʻre here with me, Iʻm here with you
Youʻre here for me, Iʻm here for you
I am so grateful, for loving you

Lyrics: 
Isolation 
Incarnation
Introspection
Illumination
Hunkered down, sequestered
Inside the cocoon, voices still heard

Caged birds singing from their balconies  
Through isolation, finding harmonies 
Caged birds sing
Caged birds singing from their balconies  
Through isolation, finding harmonies
Caged birds sing

Can I touch you, without touching you 
Please touch me, without touching me   
Love has no bounds
Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all

Be aware 
We all breathe the same air 
Gaiaʻs catching her breath while the big machineʻs on hold
Look inside, no need to hide 
Know your worth, know your worth
In this collective rebirth  
Let it be, let it be 
Truth humility  
Go within, go within
Where the healing can begin

Caged birds singing from their balconies
Through isolation, finding harmonies 
Caged birds sing
Caged birds singing from their balconies  
Through isolation, finding harmonies
Caged birds sing

Birds are returning to the locked down cities
Singing the songs for the lungs of the planet  
Singing the songs for the love of the planet  
Singing the songs for the lungs of the planet
Singing the songs for the love of the planet

Birds are returning 
Caged birds sing 
Birds are returning 
Caged birds sing

Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all
Touching us all without touching us at all

Caged Birds Sing (Feat. TLoop, Don V.  Lax, Hope Reborn & Tyler Rifley)

Verse 1: Thank you for giving me life. Your love is what gave me sight.
The twinkle in your eye & here we are today.

Donʻt let this life go by, without feeling all the reasons why:
We came here to love, We came here to love
_________

Chorus:

I love you, Iʻm grateful too. Thank you for all you are to me
I love you, Iʻm grateful too. Thank you for being you

_____________

(In our hearts lie the key, Blessed Be
What matters is the love, What matters is the love (2x))
__________

Chorus:

I love you, Iʻm grateful too. Thank you for all you are to me
I love you, Iʻm grateful too. Thank you for being you
