[Intro]
World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again

[Verse 1]
I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

[Chorus]
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Staring in the face of time and space
Spinning on an axis

[Bridge]
World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again
World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again

Hear me rising
Rise up and sing
Rise up
Rise up

[Verse 2]
Although I'm curious, it isn't a crime
I want to know if I'll find out in time
A lot of people busy doing their thing
Gonna wake up and sing early

[Chorus]
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
We ask the question, the answer's "yes"
Spinning on an axis

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason why it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

[Verse 3]
I watch the sun go down
Wonder if it's gonna come back
Certainly there's no guarantee
But I got a feeling it will be

[Chorus]
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on, spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Yeah

[Bridge]
World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again
World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up again

[Outro]
World spinning round to the next revolution

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
