Story By Stevie Wonder

Hey, this is Stevie I was blessed to be raised in the West Side of Detroit I lived on Breckenridge, that was the first home that we lived in My neighborhood, where I was raised up When the girls came around, I would sing On the front porch, beating on the stairs and singing For hours and hours upon hours Seeing a piano for the first time, but the amazing thing as well, is Through those experiences I was able to understand how My being blind, because my mother allowed me to be free Didn't mean I had to be blind to the world I may have a visual disability but did not stop the vision inside me I didn't know what it was like, being poor Because God had made me rich, even if I was born Rich with the spirit of knowing that anything you imagine that's for the good is possible to be a reality Because, a few weeks before I was discovered I had a dream that I heard my music, my record on the radio I had nothing out, no one knew who I was, and, um, amazing, it really happened And so you know, it's, I can say to other young people as I said to my son Kiland I said, "Listen, what you don't understand is that God gave you a brand even before you were born All you had to do in life is walk into it"
