Turn On The WorldDr. Hook

Songwriter: Shel Silverstein

Producer: Ron Haffkine

[Verse 1]
Turn on the world
Give them a taste
Of how free your love can be
Turn on the world
You don't wanna waste
All your warmth on me

[Chorus]
You say you've got wings
Teach them to fly
Teach them to love
And not question why
Teach them to live
And then just watch them die
As you turn on the world

[Verse 2]
Turn on the world
I'm just one man
And that ain't enough for you
Turn on the world
You know you can girl
It won't be too tough for you

[Verse 3]
Reach for your star
Ride the highway
Think of the souls that wait to be saved
All you can give me you already gave
Now go turn on the world

[Bridge]
But where my mind goes now
Is no longer your concern
You're hearing new voices now
And I'm just a bridge to burn
You've got so many choices now
You don't know where to turn, turn, turn

[Break]
Turn on the world

[Verse 4]
Turn on the world
Live life to the hilt
March to your own sweet tune
Turn on the world
Don't stop for the guilt
'Cause it might ruin your afternoon

[Verse 5]
You say I should smile
Stand and be strong
'Cause we've had our time
And we've sung our song
Don't worry about me baby
Just run along
And go turn on the world

[Bridge]
Oh show them how free your love can be
Turn on the world
You don't wanna waste
Don't wanna waste
Don't wanna waste
An hour on me

[Chorus]
You say you've got wings
Teach them to fly
Teach them to love
And not question why
Teach them to live
And then just watch them die
As you turn on the world
