Let The World Turn

Lyrics

Let The World Turn

I live in a town where there's all kinds of people
Comin' to stay from all over the world
They're here for the work, they're here for the freedom
They're here to live life on American shores

It's just like the town that I grew up in
People came sailin' in from over the sea
I was too young to know what was goin' on
But as a man it appears to me

They were brave, so courageous
I don't know if I could do what they've done
And don't claim to have all the answers
But I've come to understand

We let the world turn
It's Christopher's dream
Now there's everybody here that's ever been seen
It's a human coalition
Of colors and religions
Showin' the world we're together and free
Humanity's the main concern
Compassion is the final word
Let the world turn
Let the world turn

What would it be like if there were just people
There were no governments or powers that be
Just like John said, "Can you imagine"
That would be freedom, livin' a dream

So be brave, be courageous
We'll make it work for everyone
That's the way that we planned it
That's the way in America, it's the way....

We let the world turn
It's Christopher's dream
Now there's everybody here that's ever been seen
It's a human coalition
Of colors and religions
Showin' the world we're together and free
Humanity's the main concern
Compassion is the final word
Humanity's the main concern
Let the world turn
Let the world turn
