Stevie Wonder — A Seed’s a Star / Tree Medley

[Spoken Intro] Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen And those of you who have taken with us this long journey to celebrate the completion of the orbit of portineau Tonight, as a tribute to portineau we have a special song written and performed for the occasion by Stevie Wonder A seed is a star, a star is a seed [Verse 1] We're a people black as is your night Born to spread Amma's eternal light Which since time began Has been to bring truth to every man Our ancestors have since long ago Passed their wisdom down so we could know For here lies the key That will help unfold the mystery [Chorus] A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed Oh, a star's a seed A star's a seed's a star [Verse 2] In myself I do contain The elements of sun and rain First a seed with roots that swell I gradually burst through my shell Pushing down into the ground The root of me is homeward bound A trunk, a leaf, and there I am A miracle of least by far Tree - you are the longest living one we know The largest of all plants and still you grow Tree - within your branches there's such history So much of what we're searching for to know Every fifty years we celebrate, yeah yeah Po Tolo, our star, as it rotates Though infinitely small It is still the heaviest of them all [Chorus] A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed A star's a seed A star's a seed's a star A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed A star's a seed A star's a seed's a star
