Turn around-father turn around-mother turn around
To your sons and daughters
Turn around-father turn around-listen to the sound
You can hear the thunder
There's a light-in the sky-there's a full moon of hope
There's a word for the wise-come alive
Look back and turn around

Turn around-brother turn around-sister turn around
To the burning hunger
Turn around-go regain the ground-it's not too late to
Keep it all from going under
I can see-in your eyes-there's no fear of the dark
There's no vague compromise-so arise
Get up and turn around
Get up and turn around

Plant a seed-take a stand
There is all that you need in the palm of your hand
Take my hand-c'mon and turn around
