Feeding Off The Love Of The Land Lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser 

Than the very beginning of our time 

Agree or war has been our way of compromising 

Let live and love has become our biggest lie 

Seems to me that fools are even more foolish 

Thinking of themselves and nobody else 

But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished 

They say boot straps must be pulled up by themselves 

Feeding off the love of the land 

Leaving much to be desired 

Living off the love of the Lord 

While the price for life is higher 

Isn't love to be admired 

Has the good in man expired 

Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

HOT SONG: Camila Cabello - 'Liar' - LYRICS 

I awake each morning to the birds a-singing 

Singing out to God to come and save his own 

But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing 

Is then when He'll stop to hear our song 

Did you know that when you feel the earth a-shaken 

It's only mother nature with a crying heart 

You see we have taken from her for so many ages 

Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts 

'Cause we're feeding off the love of the land 

Leaving much to be desired 

Living off the love of the Lord 

While the price for life is higher 

Isn't love to be admired 

Has the good in man expired 

Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land 

Yes we are feeding off the love of the land 

Never hearing what He's saying 

Living off the love of the Lord 

Never feeling what you're praying 

Never praising Him for beauty 

Only praying God please give me 

Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land 

Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land
