World Start Turning Songtext
von 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 TV told 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 world
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 ruined

It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes


World start turning
Turning to the wind
World start turning
Some things were never meant to be
I've been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
Oh, I′ve been falling, falling

Heart start beating
Turning to the wind
Heart start beating
Some things were never meant to be
Made a promise to myself
I'll never get that low again

And we were told if a 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 the dreamers that died
I see the ones still trapped, they′re the ones that tried
And spent the rest of their lives wondering why
And searching for reasons
And they never wake up


This is the real world
You gotta 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 ruined

It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes

World start turning
Turning to the wind
World start turning
Some things were never meant to be
I′ve been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
Oh, I've been falling, falling

Heart start beating
Turning to the wind
Heart start beating
Some things were never meant to be
Made a promise to myself
I′ll never get that low again

Can't stop the world
Can′t stop the world

I 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
Oh, I′ve been falling, falling

World start turning
Turning to the wind

World start turning
Some things were never meant to be

I've been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
Oh, I've been falling, falling
Heart start beating
Turning to the wind
Heart start beating
Some things were never meant to be
Made a promise to myself
I′ll never get that low again

Oh, I′ve been falling, falling
World start turning
World start turning

World start turning
World start turning

World start turning
World start turning
World start turning
World start turning
World start turning
World start turning
World start turning
