Draw a bird. Name ten things you’re looking forward to. Write about who or what or where is home to you... Scribbled Pleas is a book of lyrics by singer-songwriter Mia Stegner, filled with unique prompts designed to inspire creative expression and self-reflection. A storyteller at heart, author Mia Stegner views songwriting as an avenue to ask questions, seek answers, and ponder both personal and collective pieces of the human experience.

While listening to an instrumental piece by John Stegner, my cousin and the lead singer of Season Breakers, a few melodies and harmonies began popping around in my head. I spontaneously became inspired to write and record lyrics, and within the hour I had created "Share a Home." The song is essentially about the struggle of sharing a planet and living authentically in a world of seven billion simultaneously unique and similar people, most of whom are trying to do the same thing. Lyrics below.
lyrics
Words and music, clothes and colors
Don't limit yourself to what you see in others
And while you're out there writing your song
Allow for harmonizing, do your best to get along
You know what makes us the same?
That we're all different, I'll make that claim
Seven billion, no two alike
No way we'll ever never fight but
How many times do we have to be told
Everyone's special and no one's alone?
How long will it take, until we're how old?
To understand what it means, to share a home
Home
Home
Home
The only thing we have in common is this spinning ball
I know it's dying, but in the meantime, isn't there room for us all?
I am me and you are you
And we are us, I promise you
You are you, and he is him
And she is her, and they are them
And I am me and you are you
We are us, I promise you
You are you, and he is him
And she is her, and they are them
And I am me and you are you
And we are us, I promise you
I am me and you are you
And we are us, I promise you
You know what makes us the same?
That we're all different, I'll make that claim
Seven billion, no two alike
No way we'll ever never fight but
How many times do we have to be told
Everyone's special and no one's alone?
How long will it take, until we're how old?
To understand what it means, to share a home
Home
Home
Home
You know what makes us the same?
That we're all different, I'll make that claim
Seven billion, no two alike
No way we'll ever never fight but
How many times do we have to be told
Everyone's special and no one's alone?
How long will it take, until we're how old?
To understand what it means, to share a home
