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.

Alternating between requests and apologies, Spinning is an open letter to our planet. I ponder where we'll be in the future and where we've been in the past, and I'm joined by various friends and family members for the chorus. Lyrics below.
lyrics
Mother Earth, I can see that you have every right to resign
But I beg of you, miss, to consider giving us some more time
We’re tiny, we’re stubborn, we’re stupid
But we grow, we adapt, and we learn
When we’re all losing faith in ourselves and each other
Please don’t give up and let our world burn
Five years ahead in the future
Are things better or worse or the same?
Twenty years down the line
Do we like what we find?
If we don’t, who have we picked to blame?
Mother Nature, I’m sorry for all of the things we have done
We continue to kill all the things underneath our shared sun
But despite all the greed and the violence
There are those who refuse to stay silent
There are those who don’t see it, those who don’t know what to do
But there are also those who do their best to protect what’s left of you
Five years ahead in the future
Are things better or worse or the same?
Twenty years down the line
Do we like what we find?
If we don’t, who have we picked to blame?
Mother Earth, I can see that you have every right to stop spinning
You have felt all the chaos, and seen that there’s no one who’s winning
But I hope you peer closer and find a few smiles
I hope it’s contagious, and you stare for a while
Please look for the good things, to keep in your files
Let those be the things to inspire your miles
Five years ahead in the future
Are things better or worse or the same?
Twenty years down the line
Do we like what we find?
If we don’t, who have we picked to blame?
Five years ahead in the future
Are things better or worse or the same?
Twenty years down the line
Do we like what we find?
If we don’t, who have we picked to blame?
