Just over a week after appearing in Chicago to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris at her coronation, renowned songwriter and singer Stevie Wonder has released a new song asking, “Can we mend the broken hearts of our nation?” Billboard Reported.
Appearing on the third night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Wonder told the audience: “Now is the time to tell your children where you've been and what you've done. As we stand between the pain of history and the promise of tomorrow, we must choose courage over complacency. It's time to stand up and vote.”
The “Isn't She Lovely” singer continued, “We've got to keep on trying until we're truly united as citizens of this United States of America, and then we'll reach higher ground. Are you ready? Because, you know, we need Kamala Harris.”
Apparently Wonder thinks we can't be “united” unless we all vote Democrat. Explained As their political opponents “MAGA extremists” During the tournament.
This backdrop undermines the empty, nonpartisan platitudes of his new songs.
The song begins with the lyrics, “Can we mend the broken heart of this country? Do we have the courage to try?” and calls on people to “listen to different ideas and perspectives.”
Wonder sings about “tears streaming down” his children's faces and how “love has vanished without a trace.”
The song goes on to lament “homelessness” and “poverty,” before adding, in a subtle defense of illegal immigrants, “There's light in everyone. They deserve a new beginning.”
Reflecting the left's recent obsession with ending free speech to combat “misinformation,” Wonder's song adds: “We drift alone in the dark and the bitter cold, for the ocean of lies that's been fed to us just keeps growing.”
To solve this problem, Democrats sing, “But what I've found is that with our truth, our compassion and our love, we can mend the broken heart of this nation.”
“With our truth” is a typical refrain from the left, who often call for people to accept “their truth” regardless of whether it is factual or not.
While the song is clearly intended to coincide with his political activism, it is a much softer song than his other politically motivated songs, such as “Livin' for the City,” the anti-Nixon “You Haven't Done Nothing,” and “Skeletons,” which aimed to denigrate Ronald Reagan.
