Saturn

Stevie Wonder

Packing my bags -- going away

To a place where the air is clean

On Saturn

There's no sense to sit and watch people die

We don't fight our wars the way you do

We put back all the things we use

On Saturn

There's no sense to keep on doing such crimes

There's no principles in what you say

No direction in the things you do

For your world is soon to come to a close

Through the ages all great men have taught

Truth and happiness just can't be bought - or sold

Tell me why are you people so cold

I'm....

Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow

Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow

On Saturn

People live to be two hundred and five

Going back to Saturn where the people smile

Don't need cars cause we've learned to fly

On Saturn

Just to live to us is our natural highWe have come here many times before

To find your strategy to peace is war

Killing helpless men, women and children

That don't even know what they're dying for

We can't trust you when you take a stand

With a gun and bible in your hand

And the cold expression on your face

Saying give us what we want or we'll destroy

I'm....

Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow

Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow

On Saturn

People live to be two hundred and five

Going back to Saturn where the people smile

Don't need cars cause we've learned to fly

On Saturn

Just to live to us is our natural high

About this Song

Saturn by Stevie Wonder is a deeply reflective song that imagines a future where humans have left Earth for the planet Saturn. The song explores themes of environmental destruction, societal disillusionment, and a yearning for a simpler, purer existence. Wonder contrasts the polluted, war-torn Earth with the tranquility and harmony of life on Saturn. Key poignant moments include Wonder’s lament over mankind's neglect of the planet ('But don't you know we're killing the Earth with every passing day?') and his hopeful vision of a better future ('People live to be two hundred and fifty years, saying they're saddened by the fate of the human race.') The song ultimately calls for a greater consciousness and care for our planet and each other.
