Turn This World Around
Igniting Hearts: Transforming Despair into Hope
Lyrics
Once upon a time in a city made of gold
Describes a prosperous place, symbolized by a city made of gold.
Streets were full of dreams
Highlights the vibrant nature of the streets filled with aspirations and hopes.
The air was full of hope
Emphasizes the optimistic atmosphere characterized by hope in the air.
But somewhere in the midnight
Suggests a shift or downfall occurring during the midnight hours.
Beneath the crooked moon
Symbolic imagery indicating a darker, uncertain time represented by a crooked moon.
The children stopped believin'
Children lost their faith or hope.
So the flowers never bloomed
Metaphorically represents the lack of positivity or growth due to the loss of belief.
The elders lost their sanity
Elders lost their rationality or sense of reason.
Mothers lost their smiles
Mothers lost their happiness or joy.
Fathers chased the money got
Fathers were consumed by pursuing wealth, distancing themselves.
One too many miles water turned to whiskey
Money became a priority over familial connections (water to whiskey metaphor).
The visionaries, blind
Those with foresight lost their ability to see or influence positively.
While the people in the picture box
People absorbed harmful influences from media (picture box).
Were poisoning their minds - their minds
Continued poisoning of minds by negative influences.
Their minds let's burn this bridge and ride
Expression of a desire to break away and seek change.
This river to another town
Metaphorical journey to a different place or state of being.
Hold up a holy flame
Symbolic gesture of reverence or respect for cleansing rain.
To all the rain that's pourin' down
Hatred is portrayed as the root cause of negativity and conflict.
Well hatred is the seed
Illustrates the negativity that hatred brings, affecting hearts and communities.
The Devil planted in the ground
Attributing the origin of negativity to an evil force.
Our beating hearts are singin' now
Hearts are filled with emotions, echoing a desire for positive change.
For love to turn this world around
Expresses a collective hope and plea for love to transform the world.
Oh turn this world around
Reiteration of the plea for a positive transformation through love and unity.
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
