BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the canon balls fly before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist before they’re allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Come on now baby, you know your baby loves you,
even more than he loves his clavinet.
Don’t make me get mad and act like a nigger.
WHEREBOUTS
***************
Where is the missing one, the missing one
Where is the missing one, the missing one
There is a missing person that I’ve just got to find
Now just how long they have been gone
I can’t say at this time
I glanced outside my window surprisingly to see
The reflection of a broken man who looked somewhat like me
I’m trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I’m turning blue
But wait I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one
I looked inside an album of happy photographs
To try to match the feeling
In the joy I used to have
I travelled through the moments that held a special place
But everytime what came to mind is that smile upon your face
I’m trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I’m turning blue
But wait I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one
I’m trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I’m turning blue
But wait I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere lost in yesterday with you
I’m trying to find my whereabouts, what can I do
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I’m turning blue
But wait I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere lost in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one
IT’S YOU
***************
I look inside my crystal ball of desire
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down ’cause I know what I want
And I want what I know
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, it’s you, you’re the angel sent from heaven above
It’s you, nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re that angel sent from heaven above for me
(-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I woul have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
I look behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can’t see the sun
No more hurting for fun ’cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re the angel sent from heaven above
It’s you, nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re that angel sent from heaven above for me
(-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
‘Cause Baby
It’s you
Nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re the angel sent from heaven above
It’s you, nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re that angel sent from heaven above for me
(-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
‘Cause Baby
It’s you
Nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re the angel sent from heaven above
It’s you, nobody has to tell me so
It’s you, you’re that angel sent from heaven above for me
(-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
‘Cause Baby it’s you
MASTER BLASTER
***************
Everyone’s feeling pretty
It’s hotter than July
Though the world’s full of problems
They couldn’t touch us even if they tried
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley’s hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block
Didn’t know you
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
I bet nobody ever told you that you
would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
You would be jammin’ and jammin’ and jammin’, jam on
They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World’s right on the one
Now’s the time for celebration
‘Cause we’ve only just begun
Didn’t know that you
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
You would be jammin’ and jammin’ and jammin’, jam on
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
We’re jammin’, jammin’, jammin’, jam on
You ask me am I happy
Well as matter of fact
I can say that I’m ecstatic
‘Cause we all just made a pact
We’ve agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you’re moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star
You didn’t know that you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Don’t you stop the music, oh no,
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Na, na na…
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Nobody told you Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
I bet you if someone approached you
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin’ you would not believe it because you never thought that you would be jammin’
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
jammin’ ’til the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what you are feeling
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
because you feel your body jammin’
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Oh, Oh, you would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
(We’re in the middle of the makin’s of the master blaster jammin’)
VISIONS
***************
People hand in hand
Have I lived to see the milk and honey land ?
Where hate’s a dream and love forever stands
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
The law was never passed
But somehow all men feel they’re truly free at last
Have we really gone this far through space and time
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
I’m not one who makes believe
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Today’s not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what I’d like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind ?
I’m not one who makes believes

And all things have an ending

Or do we have to take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our minds ?
