VERSE
They Won't Go When I Go
Stevie Wonder
They Won't Go When I Go
Music Stevie Wonder - Lyrics Yvonne Wright
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

About this Song
They Won't Go When I Go by Stevie Wonder is a soulful and introspective ballad that delves deep into themes of mortality, spiritual introspection, and the inevitable separation between the righteous and the wicked. Stevie Wonder reflects on the transient nature of life and the certainty of death, contemplating the moral and spiritual legacies that people leave behind. The key theme revolves around judgment and the ultimate path to righteousness, suggesting that those who lead a morally corrupt life will face a different fate than those who live righteously. Particularly poignant moments in the song are marked by the somber and reflective tone, paired with the haunting melodies that underscore the serious contemplation of life’s ultimate journey.
