Godspell movie - Turn Back, O Man lyrics
rate me<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>
