Turn Back O Man Lyrics

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 hear
Thine inner God proclaims

Turn back, O man (is your seat comfortable sir?) (mm, I like that)
Turn back, O man (is my seat comfortable sir?) (Handle with care)
Turn back, O man (can you take it?)
Forswear thy foolish ways
(See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-ay-ter)
(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

C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya!
(chorus repeat first verse)
Forswear thy foolish ways!
