Kristin Lems - Marynell Lyrics
Marynell, I did not know you very wellMarynell hello, how have you been?Now nine years later here we sitTo hear this singer tell of itAnd all those years drift back to me again.I was lonely, you were probably lonely tooBut in those days, I never would have knownHigh School kept us all apartAnd we did not know how to startTo cut through the defenses we had grown.The earliest of stirrings were already born insideThat, later on, would grow to greater lengthWe marched against the war, and Dr. King had not yet diedBut we had not begun to test our strength.How strange it passed, all those changes came so fastAs each new action burned upon our soulsIt was a time to raise your voice, to try and make a moral choiceWith freedom and equality our goals.Marynell, I still don't know you very wellBut we're part of something greater than ourselves.Those restless days not far behind,You at your school and I at mineWe took home more than books now on our shelvesI have the same convictions that I first knew back in schoolThough quieter, they're with me everywhereThough days of rage are silent now, these times are no less cruelTell me Marynell, do you still care?Tell me Marynell, do you still care?words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXXIII Kleine Ding Music (BMI
