You Will Know – Angie Stone (originally by Stevie Wonder)

Lonely one of young so brokenhearted You know, when I got the call to do a Stevie song I was surprised, a little intimidated I had to sift through ’cause I knew everybody had picked all the hits At least the radio hits And I started to search for more meaningful songs Here we go
Lonely one of young so brokenhearted Traveling down the rigid road of life Using pharmaceutical extractions To find paradise Finds the high but comes down feeling lower Gets down on his knees and pray Looking up to heaven for the answers He hears a voice that says
You will know (You) Troubled heart you’ll know (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Problems have solutions Trust and I will show, oh, oh You will know (You) Troubled heart you’ll know Every life has reasons For I made it so, so
Single parents trying to raise their children But they would much rather not alone Reaching out to find that special someone To make their house a home Finds someone but no one is the right one Gets down on their knees and starts to pray Looking up to heaven for the answer And hears a voice that says
You will know (You) Troubled heart you’ll know (Lonely, loney heart) Problems have solutions (Hey) Trust and I will show (Lonely heart) You will know Troubled heart you’ll know (Got you all wrapped up in love) Every life has reasons For I made it so (Oh), so (Oh)
You, you Hey, Stevie, you know you came to my dressing room at the House of Blues And I think I was breaking out in a cold sweat, I couldn’t believe… When you think about a Stevie song, you have to sift through “My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore” “Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful?” “Yes, I got some honeysuckle for your lips Yes, I got some honeysuckle chocolate kisses full of love” “These three words, sweet and simple” “Living just enough, just enough for the city” “I wish those days would come back once more Why did those days ever have to go” “For these are just a few discoveries we find inside the secret life of plants” “Happy Birthday to you” You are the song in the key of life And I’m so happy, I remember when you came to my concert Still back there singing and acting crazy I realized you were down to earth like the rest of us I just want you to know that you are the song in the key of life And I’m happy to celebrate Stevie, when you win, I win, we all win
