Turn Back O Man Lyrics - Singles - Schwartz Stephen

Turn back, O man 

Forswear thy foolish ways 

Old now is earth 

And none may count her days 

Yet thou, her child 

Whose head is crowned with flames 

Still will not hear 

Thine inner God proclaims 

Turn back, O man (is your seat comfortable sir?) (mm, I like that) 

Turn back, O man (is my seat comfortable sir?) (Handle with care) 

Turn back, O man (can you take it?) 

Forswear thy foolish ways 

(See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-ay-ter) 

(Hold 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 

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) 

Forswear thy foolish ways!
