Turn the World Around Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We come from the fire
Living in the fire
Go back to the fire
Turn the world around
We come from the fire
Living in the fire
Go back to the fire
Turn the world around
We come from the fire
Living in the fire
Go back to the fire
Turn the world around
[Verse 2]
We come from the water
Living in the water
Go back to the water
Turn the world around
We come from the water
Living in the water
Go back to the water
Turn the world around
We come from the water
Living in the water
Go back to the water
Turn the world around
[Verse 3]
We come from the mountain
Living on the mountain
Go back to the mountain
Turn the world around
We come from the mountain
Living on the mountain
Go back to the mountain
Turn the world around
We come from the mountain
Living on the mountain
Go back to the mountain
Turn the world around
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, so is life
Ah, ha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Ah, ha, so is life
[Verse 4]
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
[Refrain]
Oh, oh so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Water make the river
River wash the mountain
Fire make the sunlight
Turn the world around
Heart is of the river
Body is the mountain
Spirit is the sunlight
Turn the world around
We are of the spirit
Truly of the spirit
Only can the spirit
Turn the world around
We are of the spirit
Truly of the spirit
Only can the spirit
Turn the world around
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly
Do we know who we are?
[Outro]
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
Oh, oh, so is life
Abatiwaha, so is life
