Turn Back, O Man!

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways

Old now is earth

And none may count her days

Tadadadada

Yet thou, her child

Whose head is crowned with flames

Still will not hear

Thine inner God proclaim

Turn back, O man (mm, I like that)

Turn back, O man (Handle with care)

Turn back, O man

Forswear thy foolish ways

(Pardon me while I slip into something more comfortable)

Earth might be fair

And all men glad and wise

Age after age their tragic empires rise

Tadadadada

Built while they dream

And in that dreaming weep

Would man but wake

From out his haunted sleep

Turn back, O man...

Turn back, O man... (hard as a rock)

Turn back, O man...

Forswear thy foolish ways

Earth shall be fair

And all her people one

Not till that hour

Shall God's whole 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, I got something to show ya!

(chorus repeat first verse) {Turn back...proclaim}

Turn back, O man...

Turn back, O man...

Turn back, O man...

Forswear thy foolish ways!

Pa-lay it honey!
