Let's talk about the original essential worker that we forget about everyday Who's labor is expected but never rewarded Holds space everywhere but isn't on the currency A stay-at-home parent if paid for all the services would be looking at a median annual salary of $178,000 The pandemic has glaringly shown us how much labor was going under-appreciated, unpaid and unaccredited This pandemic has and is causing a Shecession, burn out and have millions of us asking Where are the breaks? Where is the rest? Where are the sick days? Where is the care? Where is the essential love? Where is the prosperity? Guaranteed income leads to prosperity, but it is only part of the solution We all know we need more and this song tells only one story She is 24/7 365 she, splits herself into 7 Days a week Filling her mind, with all the thoughts, of what she gotta do And she, work work work Till it hurt hurt hurts You can't imagine, you can't imagine She she she she she she she she cession She she she she she she she she cession She is a warrior Behind the laughter She keeps it together She's a boss Queen mother and a wife Kissing skinned knees Zooming between calls Yeah, she fights, fights, fights Though she tired, tired, tired She is essential She is essential She she she she she she she she's essential She she she she she she she she's essential You've heard it all before This time we can't wait Gotta change the present for the future It's now or never Gotta change the future for the present Ooo ooo ooo ooo Heal! Heal! Heal! Mmm mmm

Ahh Ah ooo eh ya All this time I sit and wait I wring my hands I try to rest I try to sleep I can't seem to get ahead of these deep waters Hands trying to break through the surface Scanning, scanning for relief If I could just get to the shallows I can catch my breath If I could just get to the shallows Ah ah ah ah Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh Space, take that breath Deep to resonate Wealth, gone too fast Peace, make it last Health, to grow in wealth Now, I got the resources to slow down, slow down Lest we forget we are not alone, not alone If I could just get to the shallows I can catch my breath If I could just get to the shallows If I could just get to the shallows I can catch my breath If I could just get to the shallows If I could just get to the shallows I can catch my breath If I could just get to the shallows Peace Queen Peace King Peace Royalty These dark depths will not last Space, take that breath Deep to resonate Wealth, gone too fast Peace, make it last Health, to grow in wealth Now, I got the resources to slow down, slow down Lest we forget we are not alone, not alone Peace Queen Peace King Peace Royalty If I could just get to the shallows I can catch my breath If I could just get to the shallows

about

Prosperity Sounds EP is a trio of songs in response to the question what does prosperity sound like. It is a response to what it is like living in capitalistic society during a pandemic. It is a hope that guaranteed income as well as universal basic income can provide some solutions towards closing the wealth gap. It is cry for equity and something more than the bare minimum.

Prosperity Sounds is part of Artists Respond: People, Place, and Prosperity, a project of Springboard for the Arts and the City of St. Paul
