Turn Back, O Man

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways

Old now is earth

And none may count her days

Da da da da da

Yet thou, her child

Whose head is crowned with flame

Still will not hear

Thine inner God proclaim

Turn back, O man (Well good evening sir. How's your seat?)

Turn back, O man (This is my good side)

Turn back, O man (So is this one)

Forswear thy foolish ways

(See ya later I'm going to the front of the theater)

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 (Oh I'd like to see thee more clearly)

Turn back, O man... (For the first time I'm feeling wicked)

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways

Earth shall be fair

And all her people one

Not till that hour

Shall God's own 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 let's perform some miracles!)

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways

Old now is Earth

And none may count her days

Hey yea, yea, yea

Yet thou, her child

Whose head is crowned with flame

Still will not hear

Thine inner God proclaim

Turn back, O man

Turn back, O man

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways!

Ba da mm ba dow! Bow!
