Stevie Wonder - feeding off the love of the land

가사는 인간의 이기적인 태도와 사랑의 결핍을 강조하며, 자연과의 조화를 잃고 살아가는 현대 사회를 비판한다
모두가 더 큰 사랑과 아름다움을 추구해야 하며, 결국에는 주고받으며 상생하는 날이 오기를 희망한다

Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser
Than the very beginning of our time
Agree or war has been our way of compromising
"Let live and love" has become our biggest lie
Seems to me that fools are even more foolish
Thinking of themselves and nobody else
But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished
They say bootstraps must be pulled up by themselves
Feeding off the love of the land
Leaving much to be desired
Living off the love of the Lord
While the price for life is higher
Isn't love to be admired?
Has the good in man expired?
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
I awake each morning to the birds a-singing
Singing out to God to come and save his own
But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing
Is then when He'll stop to hear our song
Did you know that when you feel the earth a-shaking
It's only Mother Nature with a crying heart
You see, we have taken from her for so many ages
Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts?
