Stevie Wonder - They Wont Go When I Go (w. lyrics)

Album: Fulfillingness' First Finale
Published: 1974
Track: 08


No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He ain't hardly gonna give

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go

Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go

When I go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.

Unclean minds mislead the pure

The innocent will leave for sure

For them there is a resting place

People sinning just for fun

They will never see the sun

People didnt know why are they hating Michael. I hope they see now that there is no reason for that. <3

rest in peace michael. soon and very soon we are going to see the king. <3

All those bleeding hearts

With sorrows to impart

Were right here from the start

And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed

To go so long

Away from tears

Michael u have gone where u longed for so long---away from all tears and pains-in the best gardens of heavens-eternal life

@StratMatt777 What makes u think I have no knowledge of bible etc. ??You are correct about the song though..This no place for an argument over religion..My bad.PEACE!!

[StratMatt777]

@MrRp25 Your personally having zero awareness/knowledge of the Bible or the Kingdom of Heaven does not mean that Stevie didn't write this song about going to heaven, based on his Christian faith. Lyrics: Unclean minds mislead the pure The innocent will leave for sure For them there is a resting place People sinning just for fun The greed of man will be Far away from me And my soul will be free They won't go when I go ...THE KINGDOM I will see 'Cause they won't go when I go

@StratMatt777 Stevie says nothing of God in this song ... Don't try to ruin it.

I love how people interpret their emotions into this song in such different ways. For me it gives me reassurance to continue to love with a soldier like demeanor. The world is slowly weeding out the evil that poisons us. But I cannot wait for it. I have to be apart of it. Even if it means keeping my mind positive just to give off the energy. I am also a MJ fan and like many of you the memorial with Stevie struck a deep deep cord in my soul. I could not stop crying. And still cry.

I'm obssed with this song. I knew about it before our wonderful King of Pop died :'( R.I.P M.J <3

[StratMatt777]

Just now learning that the George Michael version of this I know is a cover!

It is not very surprising to learn that this song was crafted by the ridiculously gifted Stevie Wonder. It is amazing what you can accomplish and contribute to humanity when you acknowledge God in your life, as Stevie has.
