(Shel Silverstein)
|
|
Turn on the world, give them a taste of how free your love can be
|
Turn on the world, you don't wanna waste all your warmth on me
|
You say you've got wings, teach them to fly
|
Teach them to love and not question why
|
Teach them to live and then just watch them die
|
As you turn on the world
|
|
Turn on the world, I'm just one man and that ain't enough for you
|
Turn on the world, you know you can girl, it won't be too tough for you
|
Reach for your star, ride the highway
|
Pick up the souls that wait to be saved
|
All you can give me you already gave
|
Now go turn on the world
|
|
But where my mind goes now, is no longer your concern
|
You're hearing new voices now
|
And I'm just a bridge to burn
|
You've got so many choices now
|
You don't know where to turn, turn, turn
|
Turn on the world
|
|
Turn on the world, live life to the hilt, march to your own sweet tune
|
Turn on the world, don't stop for the guilt 'cause it might ruin your afternoon
|
You say I should smile, stand and be strong
|
'Cause we had our time, and we sang our song
|
Don't worry about me babe just run along
|
And go turn on the world
|
|
Oh show them how real your love can be
|
Turn on the world
|
You don't wanna waste, don't wanna waste
|
Don't wanna waste an hour on me
|
|
You say you've got wings, teach them to fly
|
Teach them to love and not question why
|
Teach them to live and then just watch them die
|
As you turn on the world
|
|
Go now
