A boy is born in hard time Mississippi,
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.

Additional quotes by Stevie Wonder

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever.

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

Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many,
His patience long, but soon he won't have any,
To find a job is like a haystack needle,
'Cause where he lives, they don't use coloured people,
Living just enough, just enough for the city.
