Pastime Paradise - Stevie Wonder

Composed by：Stevie Wonder

Been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise

Been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise

Been wasting most their time glorifying days long gone behind

Been wasting most their days in remembrance of ignorance's oldest praise

Tell me who of them will come to be

How many of them are you and me

Dissipation race relations

Consolation segregation

Dispensation isolation exploitation mutilation

Mutations mis-creation confirmation to the evils of the world

Been spending most their lives living in a future paradise

Been spending most their lives living in a future paradise

They've been looking in their minds for the day that sorrow's lost from time

They keep telling of the day when the savior of love will come to stay

Tell me who of them will come to be

How many of them are you and me

Proclamation race relations

Consolation integration

Verification of revelation acclimation or salvation

Vibration stimulation confirmation to peace of the world

Been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise

Been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise

They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise

They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise

We've been spending too much of our lives living in a pastime paradise

Better start living our lives living for the future paradise

Praise to our lives living in a future paradise

Shame to anyone's life living in a pastime paradise
