Wonderful (Stevie Wonder Dedication)
India.Arie · Acoustic Soul [2001]
Another Shakespeare of your time
You're like a ribbon in the sky
You are a poet's endless rhyme
You take me to a higher ground a
And then you knock me off my feet
Lately I been thinking 'bout ya
Cause you been creeping in my dreams
You inspire me
The way you make me feel inside is amazing
Your honesty of artistry is engaging
You are everything I hope to be
You have touched my soul
I want you to know
You are my hero
You got so much soul
To put it plain and simple
You are wonderful
I am your woman in red, I am girl blue,
I am the black orchid I am a golden lady too
You bring the music of your mind
To elevate human kind
That's why I'm sharing my amore
Your inner visions I explore
You inspire me
The way you make me feel inside is amazing
Your honesty of artistry is engaging
You are everything I want to be
You have touched my soul
I want you to know
You are my hero
You got so much soul
To put it plain and simple you are wonderful
(Bridge)
You so beautiful
Yeah
You are wonderful
You are beautiful
You are powerful

You are powerful
You have touch my soul
And I just want to say thank you
You have touch my soul in such special way
Stevie Beautiful

You have touched my soul, you're so divine, you're so sublime
You are wonderful
You have touched my soul, to put it plain and simple you are wonderful
You have touched my soul, you're so divine, you're so sublime
You are wonderful
