<br>

[GIBBON]<br>

Turn back, O man <br>

Forswear thy foolish ways <br>

Old now is earth <br>

And none may count her days <br>

Yet thou, her child <br>

Whose head is crowned with flames <br>

Still will not hear <br>

Thine inner God proclaims <br>

<br>

Turn back, O man (is your seat comfortable sir?) <br>

Turn back, O man (mmm, I like that) <br>

Turn back, O man (can you take it?) <br>

Forswear thy foolish ways <br>

(See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-AY-ter) <br>

<br>

Earth might be fair <br>

And all men glad and wise <br>

Age after age their tragic empires rise <br>

Built while they dream <br>

And in that dreaming weep <br>

Would man but wake <br>

From out his haunted sleep <br>

<br>

Turn back, O man...(i'll say it again) <br>

Turn back, O man... (can you see from where you're sittin'?) <br>

Turn back, O man... (hiya big boy) <br>

Forswear thy foolish ways <br>

<br>

[JESUS]<br>

Earth shall be fair <br>

And all her people one <br>

Not till that hour <br>

Shall God's whole will be done <br>

Now, even now <br>

Once more from earth to sky <br>

Peels forth in joy <br>

Man's old undaunted cry <br>

Earth shall be fair <br>

And all her people one <br>

<br>

[GIBBON]<br>

C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya! <br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Turn back, oh man <br>

Forswear thy foolish ways! <br>

Old now is earth <br>

And none may count her days <br>

Yet thou, her child <br>

Whose head is crowned with flames <br>

Still will not hear <br>

Thine inner God proclaims <br>

<br>

Turn back, oh man <br>

Turn back, oh man <br>

Turn back, oh man <br>

Forswear thy foolish ways! <br>

<br>

[GIBBON]<br>

Play it honey!<br>
