[Verse 1]
Oh yellow moon you make me think of home
Down in Arkansas where I was raised and born
Oh muddy street where I used to play
I think of leaving here and coming home one day

[Chorus]
Somebody knows, somebody cares
This dream of mine my baby shares

[Verse 2]
Deep in her heart though she won't tell me so
There's something troublin' her
And I know I know
She dreams of rocky hills
Pretty little corn fields
And sitting 'round that mighty oak
Talking to those friendly folks

[Chorus]
Somebody knows, somebody cares
This dream of hers, oh yeah
My little heart shares

[Bridge]
One of these days
I'm gonna take my own two hands
Build us a cottage
On that old southern land

[Chorus]
Somebody knows, somebody cares
This dream of mine my baby shares

[Verse 3]
I'm coming back, oh yeah
Back to old Little Rock, hey
I'm coming home yeah yeah
Back to that old Little Rock, ha
Gonna stay there, yeah
Ain't going nowhere

[Chorus]
Somebody knows, somebody cares
This dream of mine my baby shares

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
