Turn Back, O Man
Turn back
O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Old now is earth and none may count her days
Yet thou
Her child
Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, O man
mm, I like that
Turn back, O man
Handle with care
Turn back, O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Hold me while I slip into something more comfortable
Earth might
be fair
And all men glad and wise
Age after age their tragic empires rise
da da da da da
Built while
they dream
And in that dreaming weep
Would man but wake
From out his haunted sleep
Turn back, O man...
Turn back, O man... hard as a rock
Turn back, O man...
Forswear thy foolish ways
Earth shall be fair
And all her people one
Not till that hour
Shall God's whole will be done
Now, even now
Once more from earth to sky
Peals forth in joy
Man's old undaunted cry
Earth shall be fair
And all her people one
C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya!
Turn back
O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Old now is earth
And none may count her days
Yet thou
her child
Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear
Thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, O man
Turn back, O man
Turn back, O man
Forswear
thy
foolish ways
play it honey
O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Old now is earth and none may count her days
Yet thou
Her child
Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, O man
mm, I like that
Turn back, O man
Handle with care
Turn back, O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Hold me while I slip into something more comfortable
Earth might
be fair
And all men glad and wise
Age after age their tragic empires rise
da da da da da
Built while
they dream
And in that dreaming weep
Would man but wake
From out his haunted sleep
Turn back, O man...
Turn back, O man... hard as a rock
Turn back, O man...
Forswear thy foolish ways
Earth shall be fair
And all her people one
Not till that hour
Shall God's whole will be done
Now, even now
Once more from earth to sky
Peals forth in joy
Man's old undaunted cry
Earth shall be fair
And all her people one
C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya!
Turn back
O man
Forswear thy foolish ways
Old now is earth
And none may count her days
Yet thou
her child
Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear
Thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, O man
Turn back, O man
Turn back, O man
Forswear
thy
foolish ways
play it honey
