Con más de 50 años en la música, Stevie Wonder es sin duda pieza fundamental en entender la música tal como la entendemos hoy en dia. Él ayudó a redefinir la música negra con sus canciones de los años 60, y sobre todo con su explosión creativa de los años 70.

Una vez dijo: "tengo un problema con la vista, pero cuento con mis oidos y el corazón"... y estaba lleno de razones. Su música sólo se puede concebir si alguien posée un corazón y oido especial, y sólo él ha podido crear melodías y letras que impactan de lleno en lo más profundo del alma, oclosionando impulsos de estremecimiento en cada célula de tu cuerpo. Un corazón especial que sufre y late con rabia, ante el dolor de un mundo atenazado por la frialdad y odio que afloran de las garras primitivas de la raza humana. Sin embargo, también es un corazón que palpita con fuerza contagiado por las emociones, la tolerancia y generosidad con la que el ser humano a veces parece estar capacitado. Un corazón lleno de vida y sensibilidad, que late al unísono con muchos de nosotros. Corazones sincronizados de personas de todos los continentes, razas, y religiones, que han sintonizado con un hombre único. Un hombre dueño de un corazón enorme y generoso, lleno de fuerza y amor por compartir, y a pesar de que como nos decía en una de sus canciones el cielo se encuentre a muchos años luz, (Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away), él se encuentra muy cercano a nuestra almas, porque es un dios en lo musical poseedor de un corazón de leyenda.
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
and just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
they say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
but if there is a god, we need him now
"where is your god"
that's what my friends ask me
and i say it's taken him so long
'cause we've got so far to come...
Tell me people
why can't they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away
why can't the light of good shine god's love in every soul
why must my color black make me a lesser man
i thought this world was made for every man
he loves us all, that's what my god tells me
and i say it's taken him so long
'cause we've got so far to come...
But in my heart i can feel it, yeah,
feel his spirit wow oh woo...
feel it, yeah, feel his spirit...
I... can't say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
but if so let all be pure at heart
just to walk her righteous streets i pray
let god's love shine within to save our evil souls
for those who don't believe will never see the light
"where is my god" - he lives inside of me
and i say it's taken him so long
'cause we've got so far to come...
no people, "where is your god?"
inside please let him be
and i say it's taken him so long
'cause we've got so far to come...
But if you open your heart you can feel it yeah yeah
feel his spirit, yeah
feel it, feel his spirit, wow oh wow...
feel it, you can feel his spirit
i opened my heart one morning and
i sho nuff could feel it yeah yeah
feel his spirit yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
you can feel it, yeah, feel his spirit
you can feel it, yeah, feel his spirit
and just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
