    About letting go of low self esteem, and counting ourselves in.
    CD: Speak Out   Label: Independent
    Credits: Peg Fisher - lyrics, vocals Joe Schottman - recording mentor

    Story Behind the Song
    So many of us have low self esteem, yet we are more valuable than we
    can let ourselves know. This song's about learning to count ourselves in.

    "Gathered together, with listening hearts,
    We can do so much more than alone and apart,
    So I'm sayin' to you,
    That yes, you do count,
    and I'm thinkin' it's time you found it out -
    Find it out!"

    Lyrics
    Parking Lot Penny - by Peg Fisher

    Sometimes I feel
    Like a parking lot penny
    All battered and scarred
    From life on the pavement
    Gettin' crushed by the cars
    And scorched by the heat
    Or goin' unnoticed
    Under somebody's feet...

    And sometimes I feel
    Like a scruffy survivor
    My back to the cold wind,
    Out on this assignment
    That's lifeā€¦

    When you really are broke
    Then every coin's lucky
    So I walk around town
    Pick up those pennies
    Then I buy a small snack
    Make it one more day
    And those scruffy little pennies
    Help me on my way.

    So I'm sayin' to you
    Don't sell yourself short
    Maybe you're feelin' small
    Or you're feelin' hurt
    Yet just as you are
    You might know what to say
    To help somebody else
    Make it through their day.

    Gathered together with listening hearts
    We can do so much more
    Than alone and apart,
    So I'm sayin' to you,
    That yes, you do count
    And I'm thinkin' it's time
    You found it out
    You found it out
    You found it out
    You found it out
    Find it out!
