Counting my changes – Cinematic, Indie, Trip Hop Versions | Song created with Suno (my lyrics, my voice)
1 October 2026
A woman clad in brown leather squatting next to a dragon which seems to be around her size. The dragon is looking forward and is just next to her and to the inner side of her. The top part of the dragon's head is similar to the head gear the woman is wearing

## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS

I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

From dragons and ancient codes of valour to the fragile truth of our own humanity, Counting my Changes asks what remains when strength, youth and glory begin to fade. Perhaps courage lies not in being formidable, but in keeping certain values alight — tolerance, compassion, truth — and turning our weaknesses into something brighter. Small changes, small change, pennies catching the sun: a daily reckoning with the person we are still becoming.

Dragon creed
Our wings are shelter
For the weak
Our souls meek
We shun the glitz and glitter
Though we’re born of stars

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
We shun the glitz and the glitter
Dragon creed, our wings are shelter
for the weak; we relieve their scars
Our souls meek, though we’re born of stars

[Verse]
We have none left to assuage
The old code is more than adage
not mere tale or words to decode
Past glory that time may erode

[Verse]
Soul swollen, Eternal homage
Bursts in me forgotten image
Now forgotten I do not flee
the waking moments thwarted plea

[Verse]
Bosoms bare the heart of thunder
The shield is but for the feud’s blunder
This tale has no destiny’s spear
Yet you still wonder why no fear

[Chorus]
They shine slight, She innerves them light
Tolerance brings more than foresight
Within their brittle light I bask
Counting my changes, Daily task

[Verse]
Knave and lewd, they gather hell’s fire
The rakes fallen spew desire
There is a riddle I admire
She says it on Nile to enquire

[Verse]
We crawl slow then we stand proud, tall
before the age and fate’s dark weight
curb within us the springy gait
and three are our legs before fall

[Verse]
We cover our humanity
and our incredible frailty
Saucy words, Weapons of the mind
Invisibility’s cloak shrined

[Verse]
There is truth in between the lies
where we find Redemption in sighs
Overhauling weaknesses spun
into bright Pennies in the sun

[Chorus]
They shine slight, She innerves them light
Tolerance brings more than foresight
Within their brittle light I bask
Counting my changes, Daily task
