Rick Springfield - World Start Turning lyrics



I was born in the Southern Land, yeah, a million miles from America
And whatever we wanted was just a matter of choosing
And I was raised in the Great White Way
Just like all those kids in America
And the T.V. taught us to win with no thought of losing - then I woke up

This is the real world, the real town without pity
And this is the real world, in the shadow of the city
This is the real wheel, you don't get too many spins
This is the real deal, not everybody wins

Just another soul lost in America, I was so frustrated and I got so lonely
It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes

Chorus:
World start turning - turn into the wind
World start turning - some things were never meant to be
I've been standing on the beach, crying to the raging sea
I've been falling, falling
Heart start beating - turn into the wind
Heart start beating - some things were never meant to be
Made a promise to myself I'll never get that low again

We were taught if a man believes in what he wants in America
It's only a matter of time, just a matter of seasons
But I walk thru the houses of the dreams that died
I see the ones still trapped there, the ones that tried
But spent the rest of their lives wondering why
And searching for reasons - and they never wake up

This is the real world, you've got to know just when to bend
Here in the world, precious little matters in the end
This is the real world, the real town without pity
And this is the real world, in the shadow of the city

Just another soul lost in America, I was so frustrated and I got so lonely
It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes

chorus

Can't stop the world, can't stop the world

(Solo)

Never could settle for where I was, too many places I was trying to be
The times I succeeded and the times I failed

You know that no one will remember but me

World start turning, world start turning
I've been standing on the beach, crying to the raging sea
I've been falling, falling

chorus

I've been falling, falling

World start turning, world start turning
World start turning, world start turning
(repeats out)
