Turn Back, O Man Lyrics

[MORGAN]
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

[JESUS]
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!
