Stevie Wonder - Feeding off the Love of the Land Lyrics

Lyrics Feeding off the Love of the Land - Stevie Wonder



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 boot straps 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-shaken
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
'Cause we're 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
Yes we are feeding off the love of the land
Never hearing what He's saying
Living off the love of the Lord
Never feeling what you're praying
Never praising Him for beauty
Only praying God please give me
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land
