Kenny Rogers - Turn This World Around lyrics

Once upon a time in a city made of gold Streets were full of dreams The air was full of hope But somewhere in the midnight Beneath the crooked moon The children stopped believin' So the flowers never bloomed The elders lost their sanity Mothers lost their smiles Fathers chased the money got one too many miles Water turned to whiskey The visionaries, blind While the people in the picture box Were poisoning their minds - their minds, their minds Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town sponsored links Hold up a holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beating hearts are singin' now For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh turn this world around Let's dust off all the rust It starts from diamonds on the sea Ring the bells in the cathedrals Rejoice for what's redeemed Let's lock and load with truth And blow up the lies All of us are guilty, we have no alibi Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town Hold up a holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beatin' hearts are singin' now For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh turn this world around Woah turn this world around Oh turn this world around Woah turn this world around Woah turn this world around Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town Hold up the holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beatin' hearts are singin' out - singin' out Our beatin' hearts are singin' out For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Turn this world around Oh turn this world around Turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh Woah, turn this world around
