- Used to BeLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Kenny HirschPerformed by: Charlene, Stevie Wonder
Superman was killed in Dallas
There's no love left in the palace
Someone took the Beatles' lead guitarHave another Chivas Regal
Your twelve years old and sex is legal
Your parents don't know where or who you areUsed to be the hero of the ball game
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a damnGreat big wars in little places
Look at all those frightened faces
But don't come here
We just don't have the roomLove thy neighbor's wife and daughter
Cleanse your life with holy water
You don't need to bathe, we've got perfumeUsed to be a knight in shining armor
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Dignity and courage were the measure of a man
Not the drugs he needs to hide the scarCan teacher read? Does your preacher pray?
Does your president have soul? Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?
Mama took her speed and Daddy ran away
But you mustn't lose control
Lets cut a class
I got some grass
The kids are wild, we just can't tame 'em
Do we have the right to blame 'emWe fed 'em all our indecision
We raped their minds with television
But what the hell, they're too young to feel painBut believe that love can save tomorrow
And I believe the truth can make us free
Someone tried to say it and we nailed him to a cross
I guess it's still the way it used to be - Heaven Help Us AllLyrics | Music: Ron MillerPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us allHeaven help the black man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us allHeaven help the boy who won't reach twenty one
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us allNow I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world I pray the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us allHeaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all - Travelin' ManLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Something deep inside of me
Keeps me moving aimlessly
Always been always be
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I can't explain
Holding me from wind and rain
Wild and free and hard to tame
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out travelin' man
Please don't ask me where I've been
I've been alone through thick and thin
On the outside looking in
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I haven't found
Keeps me seeking all around
Moving on from town to town
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out travelin' man

Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out.. - Down to EarthLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: William Stevenson, William O'MalleyPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Down to earth once again
I've been away too long
I got lost but then I came home again
Oh where I belong
Down to earth just in time
To the love I failed to see
I gave up a dream for a change of scene
Now I'm back where I should be
Down to earth, down to earth
All that I lost I have found
What's it worth this bitter earth
Without your love around?
I got lost in the crowd
That's the price I had to pay
Cause I couldn't find what I left behind
'Til love showed me the way, yeah
Down to earth, down to earth
All that I lost I have found
What's it worth this bitter, bitter, bitter earth
Without your love around? Yeah
Welcome home little fool
And it's been a long hard climb
From a world unreal to the things I feel
Well love was waiting all the time
Down to earth, down to earth
Down, down to earth, yeah, yeah - Yester-me, Yester-you, YesterdayLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Yester-me
Yester-you
YesterdayWhat happened to
The world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time awayYester-me
Yester-you
YesterdayWhere did it go?
That yester-glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our wayYester-me
Yester-you
YesterdayI had a dream so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester-fools and now
Now it seems
Those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to playYester-me
Yester-you
YesterdayWhen I recall what we had
I feel lost
I feel sad
With nothing but
The memory of
Yester-love now
Now it seems
Those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to playYester-me

Yesterday - Everyone's a Kid at Christmas TimeLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Aurora MillerPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Everyone from Maine to Baton Rouge
Got the news - even Scrooge!Everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Mistletoe is now the latest rage
And no one wants to act their ageThe older folks are playing with their trains
Eating candy canes and trimming trees
Some nice old guy is riding through the sky
Would you believe he's jumping into chimneys?Whoa, everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Now's the time to throw your cares away
The world is on a holidayThere's even people singing in the street
Life is such a treat and goodness knows
That same old guy, still riding through the sky
And talking to a reindeer with a big red noseWhoa, everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Everyone from one to ninety-three
Feeling free, look at me!Oh, everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Now's the time to throw your cares away
And do the things you did, when you were just a kid
The world is on a holiday!Everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time
Everyone from Maine to Baton Rouge
Got the news - even Scrooge!Everyone's a kid at Christmas time
A holly jolly kid at Christmas time!Everyone's a kid at Christmas time
- One Little Christmas TreeLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
One little Christmas tree was standing alone
Waiting for someone to come by
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky,
"Oh please Mr. Father Tree, the tallest of all,
I'm so afraid and so alone
Could one little Christmas tree
So tiny and small light up someone's home?"
'Cause one little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little heart can find some joy
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree,
"Oh please Mr. Father Tree, wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me?"
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world,
"Go down little angel girl and give him your star,
Tonight he'll light the world"
'Cause one little Christmas tree
Can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see on Christmas day
One little Christmas tree
Can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see on Christmas day
One little Christmas tree
Can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way - Someday at ChristmasLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a Man
No hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shinning moment my heart ran away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime - A Place in the SunLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' onLike a branch on a tree
I keep reaching to be free
Movin' on, movin' on'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sunLike an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun - For Once in My LifeLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Orlando MurdenPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch, what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true, yeah yeahFor once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs meFor once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
For once in my life
Somebody that needs me
Oh baby, for once in my life - Bedtime For ToysLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Orlando MurdenPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier
Mommy says that its time for sleep
If my folks were wiser and older
Theyd know kids and toys dont need sleep
Close your eyes little cotton dolly
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise
Cause he knows its past bedtime for toys
Bless the child who has no tin soldier
No brass boy he can put to bed
He will still grow wiser and older
Loving one small rag doll instead
He dont have any cotton dolly
Mickey Mouse wont come to his house
Hold that rag doll
Love it dear
Nothing can destroy
The beauty one child finds
In one small toy - A Warm Little Home on a HillLyrics: Ron MillerMusic: Bryan WellsPerformed by: Stevie Wonder
There's a warm little home on a hill
And the presents are hiding somewhere
And the world is so peaceful and still
You can almost hear love in the air
There's a blanket of snow on the ground
And a bright little star in the sky
And your heart knows that Santa is near
By the twinkle in everyone's eye
There's gift bringing and bells ringing
And warm little feet by the fire
There are kids playing and folks praying
And somewhere the sound of a choir
There's two people that never will part
And two stockings we still have to fill
There's a warm little place in my heart
For our warm little home on the hill
