[00:22.27]For me and mines, yours and you
[00:25.40]Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo
[00:31.29]I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold
[00:34.50]Celebrations were going on
[00:36.65]Some were happy, some were sad
[00:38.90]Some felt bad from being good
[00:40.59]Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change
