Stevie WonderDog!

Sun, 17 May 2009 21:21:03 -0700

Stevie was born last week! We’re planning on visiting in late May. Follow the fun at the Stevie WonderBlog.

NB: The puppy above is not Stevie...it’s a sibling from a past litter. We’re still working on getting pics from the breeder.

this day is getting older,
in fading light, it's beautiful
this wind is blowing colder,
and too soon i'll feel it's pull

still, i took all my chances,
earned myself an even score
try to learn my lessons well
and i don't have the answers,
for those questions anymore
only love can be both heaven and hell

so sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead
i'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread
and so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes,
slows your mind

i've grown old on this ocean,
gave her all, my stronger years
gave my wife my devotion,
when she died, the ocean my tears

i've tried to teach you well son,
all of everything i knew
of how to live this life be true
don't bow your head to no one,
and no matter what you do,
if you start then see it through

so sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead
i'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread
and so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes,
slows your mind

i don't need to be a global citizen,
because i'm blessed by nationality
i'm member of a growing populace,
we enforce our popularity
there are things that seem to pull us under
and there are things that drag us down
but there's a power and a vital presence
it's lurking all around.

we've got the american jesus
see him on the interstate
we've got the american jesus
he helped build the president's estate

i feel sorry for the earth's population
because so few live in the usa
at least the foreigners can copy our morality
they can visit but they cannot stay
only precious few can garner our prosperity
it makes us walk with renewed confidence
we got a place to go when we die
and the architect resides right here

we've got the american jesus
bolstering national faith
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day

he's the farmer's barren fields
(in god)
the force the army wields
(we trust)
expressions on the faces of the starving millions
(because he's one of us)
the power of the man
(break down)
he's the fuel that drives the klan
(cave in)
he's the motive and the conscience of the murderer
(we can redeem your sins)
he's the preacher on tv
(strong heart)
the false sincerity
(clear mind)
the form letter that's written by the big computers
(and infinitely kind)
the nuclear bombs
(you lose)
the kids with no moms
(we win)
and i'm fearful that he's inside me
(he is our champion)

we've got the american jesus
see him on the interstate
we've got the american jesus
exercising his authority
we've got the american jesus
bolstering national faith
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day

one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god
one nation, under god

tell me something that i don't already know tell me how you plan to change the world
i'm tired of people trying to tell me what is right
i'm tired of people trying to pull me down
i know that you might never understand the way i feel
i made a promise to myself that i would never let it show 
never look down
never look down
just keep my focus straight ahead and try to walk this line 
tell me all about your favorite human being
tell me everything about yourself
god, the story is so terribly interesting
i wonder what's so good about myself
i know that you might never understand the way i feel
i made a promise to myself that i would never let it show 
never look down
never look down
just keep my focus straight ahead and try to walk this line 
let me take a good look at your perfect life
so i know just exactly how i don't want mine 
everyday i see these same four walls that keep me here
and i want to change the things that hurt
i want to end this constant fear
