Stevie Wonder Quotes

What I’ve not heard is a unanimous commitment to atone for the sins of this country... I know that dance. I've heard those songs.

Police brutality can have an ending. Economic repression of Black and brown people can have an ending... A movement without action is a movement standing still. To those who say they care: Move more than your mouth. Move your feet to the polls, and use your hands to vote... Black lives do matter. And this is not another digital, viral trend, moment or hashtag, Yes, all lives do matter, but they only matter when black lives matter too.

Come true when I looked at you,
And maybe too if you would believe,
You too might be overjoyed, over love, over me.

I like to see you boogie right across the floor,
I'd like to do it to you 'til you howl for more,
I like to reggae, but you dance too fast for me,
I'd like to make love to you so you can make me scream.

No more lying friends wanting tragic ends,
Though they do pretend,
They won't go when I go.

Baby, everything is alright,
Uptight, outta sight!

Hope my premonition misses,
But what I really feel,
My eyes won't let me hide,

Living in a pastime paradise.

Glorifying days long gone behind,
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise.

Don't delay, send yours in right away,
Hate's going 'round breaking many hearts,
Stop it please, before it's gone too far.

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty,
His parents give him love and affection,
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction,
Living just enough, just enough for the city.
