Turning Around Lyrics - Tim O'brien

From where you sit you cannot see it 

No one watches anyway 

No one stops to listen for it 

Covered by the sounds of day 

But we each play our own part in it 

Nothing that you need to learn 

Every breath from birth to dying 

We all help the world to turn 

CHORUS: 

Turning like the water flowing 

From the mountains to the sea 

A gentle wind that keeps on blowing 

Pray that it will always be 

Turning around, this old world, turning around 

Through the window I can see you 

In the garden sewing seeds 

Hand and heart with rain and sunshine 

Growing what the family needs 

CHORUS: 

Need it like the water flowing 

From the mountains to the sea 

Keep the roots and branches growing 

Pray that they will always be 

Turning around, this old world, turning around 

All Gods creatures have their own way 

Knowing how and what to do 

Buzzing bees and birds a singing 

Like I sing this song for you 

CHORUS: 

Sing it like the water flowing 

From the mountains to the sea 

This melody that keeps on going 

Pray that it will always be 

Turning around, this old world, turning around
