[Verse 1]
We are idle strangers
Married to our dangers
Into space we go to change our ways
Flying to our heavens
We are all together
Into hell we chase the light of day

[Chorus 1]
Look around and you'll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and you'll find
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind

[Verse 2]
We are charmed by living
Dazzled into giving
All the waste we plan to ignore
Coldness is the virtue
Measured for the untrue
Love is used for something but what for?

[Chorus 2]
Look around and you'll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and you'll find
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind
Look around

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.
