I tell you, boy, every time
The feeling sure is fine
Just move me on down the line

Now, I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways
I grow more disappointing to you as my beauty warps and fades
And I suspect you feel the same

"I just want to ask a question:
Who really cares
to save a world in despair?
Who really cares?
There'll come a time
When the world won't be singing
Flowers won't grow
Bells won't be ringin'
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try?
To save the world
That's destined to die"
- Marvin Gaye

Took a jog through Mississippi
Well, muddy water turned to wine
Took a jog through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine
Then out to California
Through the forests and the pines
