Turn world turn Lyrics

I was a king, and a son of kings

Politicians they are puppets on my strings

But how could I foresee this destiny

Now all my power means nothing to me

I was a thief, why shouldn't I be

Everything is theft anyway you see

You are slaves to the grind but I am free

'til that day my heart was stolen from me

Turn, world, turn

Burn, heart, burn

I was an addict in an altered state

I was a stone noone can penetrate

I sleep by the doors of heaven and awake by hells gate

But nothing could shake me until I was handed this fate

I was a soldier at heart you see

I believed

In my country's legacy

Whatever happened noone will ever know

But I can tell you that it changed me so

Turn, world, turn

Burn, heart, burn

I was a farmer, father like son

Steadfast and strong from all the work I've done

Still my eyes was lured to the star that shone

That day my family's ties came undone

I was a priest yes I was called upon

To spread the words of gods only son

It took us through the valley

And now it is all said and done

Turn, world, turn

Burn, heart, burn
