[Verse 1]
I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was in the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away

[Chorus][x2]
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are

[Post-Chorus]
Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
And I'll be there

[Verse 2]
I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing silly things that kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissent me"
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh

[Chorus][x2]
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are

[Post-Chorus]
Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
I'll be there

[Pre-Chorus][x2]
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are

[Bridge]
When you're joyful
When you're lonely
When you're happy
When tears are streaming right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the night time hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father

[Outro]
I'm with you[x2]
Ban the hand gun - chant

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
