Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away Lyrics


They say that Heaven
Is 10 zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart
Will walk her righteous streets somedayThey 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 soulWhy must my color black
Make me a lesser man
I thought this world
Was made for every manHe 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
Feel His spirit, wow, oh, woo
Feel it, yeah, feel His spiritAnd 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 prayLet 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"Now 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 it, feel His spirit, wow, oh, wow
Feel it, you can feel His spiritI opened my heart one morning
And I show enough could feel it, yeah yeah
Feel His spirit yeah, yeah
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

Stevland Hardaway Morris (b. 1950), known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is a U.S. singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and activist.

Born on the 13th May 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan as Stevland Hardaway Judkins, he lost his sight shortly after birth. When Wonder was four, his mother left his father and moved herself and her children to Detroit. She changed her name back to Lula Hardaway and later changed her son's surname to Morris, partly because of relatives. Morris has remained Stevie Wonder's legal name ever since.

Wonder signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of eleven, and continues to perform and record for Motown to this day. To date, he has recorded more than thirty U.S. top ten hits and received twenty-two Grammy Awards, the most ever awarded to a male solo artist. In 2008, Billboard magazine placed Wonder fifth in their list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists. He has recorded several critically acclaimed albums and hit singles, and writes and produces songs for many of his labelmates and outside artists. A multi-instrumentalist, Wonder plays the drums, guitar, synthesisers, congas, and most famously the piano, harmonica, and keyboards.

Wonder forged his divergent styles into a trademark sound, putting his musical signature on a quartet of albums that would change music forever: 1972's Talking Book, 1973's Innervisions, 1974's Fullfillingness' First Finale, and 1976's Songs in the Key of Life. By the end of the decade, Wonder had won a record fifteen Grammys, as well as numerous other awards.

In the following decades he wrote, among other classics, his 1982 collaboration with Paul McCartney, "Ebony and Ivory", which remained number one for seven weeks in a row. 1984's The Woman in Red soundtrack produced the enduring classic "I Just Called to Say I Love You", yet another number-one hit that gained him an Academy Award.

In 1989 Wonder was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside The Rolling Stones.

His contribution to worldwide social and political change is just as impressive; he championed the effort to make Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday, as well as becoming a driving force behind 1985's USA for Africa campaign.
