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 he-he-hear
Thine inner God proclaims

Turn back, o man
(Mmm, I like that)
Turn back, o man
(Handle with care)
Turn back, o man
Forswear thy foolish ways

(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
(Come here Jesus, I got something to show ya)

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 he-he-hear
Thine inner God proclaims

Turn back, o man
Turn back, o man
Turn back, o man
Forswear thy foolish ways
