Turn This World Around Lyrics - You Can't Make Old Friends - Kenny Rogers

Once upon a time in a city made of gold 

Streets were full of dreams 

The air was full of hope 

But somewhere in the midnight 

Beneath the crooked moon 

The children stopped believin' 

So the flowers never bloomed 

The elders lost their sanity 

Mothers lost their smiles 

Fathers chased the money got one too many miles 

Water turned to whiskey 

The visionaries, blind 

While the people in the picture box 

Were poisoning their minds - their minds, their minds 

Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town 

Hold up a holy flame 

To all the rain that's pourin' down 

Well hatred is the seed 

The Devil planted in the ground 

Our beating hearts are singin' now 

For love to turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Let's dust off all the rust 

It starts from diamonds on the sea 

Ring the bells in the cathedrals 

Rejoice for what's redeemed 

Let's lock and load with truth 

And blow up the lies 

All of us are guilty, we have no alibi 

Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town 

Hold up a holy flame 

To all the rain that's pourin' down 

Well hatred is the seed 

The Devil planted in the ground 

Our beatin' hearts are singin' now 

For love to turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Woah turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Woah turn this world around 

Woah turn this world around 

Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town 

Hold up the holy flame 

To all the rain that's pourin' down 

Well hatred is the seed 

The Devil planted in the ground 

Our beatin' hearts are singin' out - singin' out 

Our beatin' hearts are singin' out 

For love to turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Turn this world around 

Oh turn this world around 

Oh 

Woah, turn this world around
