⭐ “Count Them If You Can” by Abraham Morris

From Buzzard Dust Mixtapes: Copper
Track 9
Written by Emmitt Owens
Index #02092024

Inspired by Genesis 15, Count Them If You Can reflects on the moment when God led Abraham outside and told him to look toward the heavens and count the stars—if he could. It is a song about faith, promises that seem impossible, and trusting what cannot yet be seen.

Performed in the spirit of Appalachian folk and bluegrass storytelling, this song is part of the fictional world of Buzzard Dust Mixtapes, where music, folklore, and the broadcasts of WDAR 99.6 Dead Air Radio come together.

Lyrics

Old man, older wife, a promise cracked the math wide open,
desert night gone cold and quiet, fire burned down to a coal.
He’d learned to live on less and less, stopped hoping, stopped the reaching,
then a voice split through the dark and asked for something no man could hold.

Count them if you can — every fire in the black,
every light that ever burned and never once looked back.
That’s the size of what I’m giving, that’s the shape of what’s to come —
more than hands can hold, more than mouths can sum.

He stood barefoot in the cold with his neck bent toward forever,
lost his place somewhere past a hundred, let the number go.
Not one star apologized for hanging out past reason,
not one dimmed itself to fit what one old man could know.

Count them if you can — every fire in the black,
every light that ever burned and never once looked back.
That’s the size of what I’m giving, that’s the shape of what’s to come —
more than hands can hold, more than mouths can sum.

Count them if you can — every fire in the black,
every light that ever burned and never once looked back.
He’s still counting somewhere, past the edge of what we’ve done —
more than hands can hold, more than the mouths that come.
