Turning Around - 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 God’s 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
