[CHIKA, Stevie Wonder - GET HERE lyrics]
I can see that you're wandering
Lost on your way to me hear your thoughts
You're still pondering if this life
Is the place to be
But, baby, lift your eyes up, take a breath
Let's assess the scene
Find joy in the steps you take
'cause they lead to a blessed dream
We're gonna get there we're gonna get here
I'll see you when you get here
I'll see you when you get there
Yeah, voice from beyond, poised to savant
You were called to be here, purpose to God
By your hands you built kingdoms
Moved mountains and stars
Engineered to withstand
Walk away with no scars
Never worry, take it day to day
No need to hurry
You may think it's foreign ground
But this whole world your territory
Be the king you've always been
And not for honor or for glory
But so one day when they read it back
They'll understand the story
And when the pain is never ending
That's all a part of growth
You build endurance up, don't sweat
It, you're not breaking, you're just bending
And when no one's by my side
Expect it to get lonely
It don't stay that way
Eventually you know who down to ride
But, I feel so out of place
Just move at your own pace
Let the world catch up to you
But when they do extend some grace
You're a marvel of a being
They don't recognize your face
Let them know you by your presence
And respect you by your name
You're gonna get there you're gonna get here
I'll see you when you get here
I'll see you when you get there
You're gonna get there you're gonna get here
I'll see you when you get here
I'll see you when you get there
I see myself as like this
Shining beam on a hill
That's watching my other self come to me
And I'm seeing everything that
They're gonna go through
In order to get to where I am
In order to get here
You're gonna go through a lot of things
And you're gonna have to withstand
And you're gonna have to put your
Head down and really understand
This is a -, life is a journey
And you're gonna get here
You're gonna reach the point that you
Are hoping to right now
There's gonna be moments and lapses of
Judgement and things that you
Are gonna come across that
Will not always connect
And it's not gonna make sense
You're gonna feel lonely
You're gonna feel like you're -
There's no one with you because
You're leading the pack
And when you're in front of the pack
There is no one beside you
Everyone's behind you so let them catch up
Lost on your way to me hear your thoughts
You're still pondering if this life
Is the place to be
But, baby, lift your eyes up, take a breath
Let's assess the scene
Find joy in the steps you take
'cause they lead to a blessed dream
We're gonna get there we're gonna get here
I'll see you when you get here
I'll see you when you get there
