World Start Turning Lyrics - Rock Of Life - Rick Springfield

I was born in the Southern Land 

Yeah, a million miles from America 

And whatever we wanted was just a matter of choosing 

And I was raised in the Great White Way 

Just like all those kids in America 

And the T.V. taught us to win with no thought of losing (then I woke up) 

This is the real world, the real town without pity 

This is the real world, in the shadow of the city 

This is the real wheel, 

You don't get too many spins 

This is the real deal, not everybody wins 

Just another soul lost in America 

I was so frustrated and I got so lonely 

It almost took a miracle to open my eyes

World Start Turning (turn into the wind) 

World Start Turning (some things were never meant to be) 

I've been standing on the beach 

Crying to the raging sea 

I was falling, falling 

Heart start beating (turn into the wind) 

Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be) 

Made a promise to myself 

I'll never get that low again 

We were taught if man believes in 

What he wants in America 

It's only a matter of time, just a matter of seasons 

But I walk through the houses of dreams that died 

I see the ones still trapped there the ones that tried 

But spent the rest of their lives wondering why 

And searching for reasons (and they never wake up)

This is the real world, you've got to know just when to bend 

Here in the world, precious little matters in the end 

This is the real world, the real town without pity 

This is the real world, in the shadow of the city 

Just another soul lost in America 

I was so frustrated and I got so lonely 

It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes 

World Start Turning (turn into the wind) 

World Start Turning (some things were never meant to be) 

I've been standing on the beach 

Crying to the raging sea 

I was falling, falling 

Heart start beating (turn into the wind) 

Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be) 

Made a promise to myself 

I'll never get that low again 

You can't stop the world, cant' stop the world 

Never could settle for where I was 

Too many places I was trying to be 

The times I succeeded and the times I failed 

You know that no one will remember but me 

World Start Turning, World Start Turning 

I've been standing on the beach 

Crying to the raging sea 

I was falling, falling 

Heart start beating (turn into the wind) 

Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be) 

Made a promise to myself 

I'll never get that low again...
