World Will Turn
Lyrics by Jerry Joseph

1600 horses pulled a ship out of the ocean
could've been a vintage clipper or a yellow submarine
sailors were singing songs of love and devotion
saxophone was blowing a love supreme

Seems they were searching for a higher education
tried to heal an ailing nation
but they brought it to its knees
slapped each others shoulders
and exclaimed congratulations
but they lost a generation
never to be seen

hey now baby I can't say
will be there on judgment day
one thing baby I have learned
with or without the world will turn
yes it will
the world will turn

Found a little princess
strung out again in Paris
passed on in the twilight
you could hear the angels sing

buried here with sealant wax in a giant scarlet coffin
filled it up with poetry
cabbages and kings
sons of kings

Hey now baby I can't say
will be there on judgment day
one thing baby that I have learned
with or without you the world will turn
yes it will
the world will turn

Somewhere in Tribeca,
streets of Manhattan
I spied a young cowboy
and he played me a song
he said come sit beside me
and hear my sad story
I'm a dying young cowboy
I know that I've done wrong
I know that I've done wrong

Hey now baby I can't say
will be there on judgement day
one thing baby that I have learned
with or without you the world will turn
one thing baby that I can't say
will be there on judgement day
one thing baby that I have learned
with or without you the world will turn
one thing baby that I can't say
will be there on judgement day
one thing baby that I have learned
with or without the world will turn
yes it will
the world will turn
world will
the world will turn
