I had the privilege of inviting some of my students to sing with me at the 2015 Transactional Analysis Conference, and I was so proud of their level of professionalism!

There have been some requests to read the lyrics of the medley that I wrote especially for this occassion.

Enjoy!

Come Together by Deb Pluym

PART 1

A single sound doesn’t make sense on its own
But threaded together we can vibrate through skin and bones
Babe I’ll be your beat if you create the harmony
A celebrated union of our individuality
Come together right now over me

RAP

Let me present this winning script
Of one who’s thinking is equipped
The past diaspora of self
Kept my potential on the shelf
now to function from the core
The truth reverberates once more
intelligent creative
connected and intuitive
Enough! I am not powerless
But healthily autonomous
if together we are free
Secure in our identity
Respecting one’s equality
A co-created entity
With own responsibility
I’ll be okay, you too I’ve seen
So meet me in that space between

PART 2

We are tethered in commonality
You make me better than I alone could be
We are a body wisdom the head
Sown into community with love as the thread
Come together right now over me

PART 3

Verse 1
Love each other and you will be happy I have found
That’s as simple and as complicated as it sounds
The virgin soil of things unknown
Two heads two hearts together grown
When separate sounds become a song
The wanderlust called to belong

Verse 2
Callus on my heart I do regret
Turned to look the other way when our eyes should’ve met
Words drip subconscious pain
games played for selfish gain
Let’s search our hearts and fan the flame
The things we lost we shall reclaim

Chorus 1
If anything I’ve done has hurt you
I will change the things I need to
We can stitch us up again
God forbid this love would tarnish
Let’s find all our strands of dullness
Colour us to life again

Chorus 2
If anything would separate us
Let’s find every tear between us
We can stitch us up again
God forbid this love would tarnish
Let’s find all our strands of dullness
Colour us to life again
