A Seed's A Star/Tree Medley - Stevie Wonder

We’re a people black as is your night

Born to spread Amma’s eternal light

Which since time began

Has been to bring truth to every man

Our ancestors have since long ago

Passed their wisdom down so we to know

For here lies the key

That will help unfold the mistery

A seed’s a star

A seed’s a star’s a seed

A star’s a seed

A star’s a seed’s a star

In myself I do contain

The elements of sun and rain

First a seed with roots that swell

I gradually burst through my shell

Pushing down into the ground

The root of me is homeward bound

A trunk, a leaf and there I am

A miracle of least by far

Tree — you are the longest living one we know

the largest of all plants and still you grow

Tree — within your branches there’s such history

so much of what we’re searching for to know

Every fifty years we celebrate

Po Tolo, our star, as it rotates

Though infinitely small

It is still the heaviest of them all

A seed’s a star

A seed’s a star’s a seed

A star’s a seed

A star’s a seed’s a star

A seed’s a star

A seed’s a star’s a seed

A star’s a seed

A star’s a seed’s a star

(Background-simultaneous)

Ye Lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye And some believe antennas are their leaves

That spans beyond our galaxy

They’ve been, they are and probably will be Who are the mediocrity
