Rick Springfield - World Start Turning Lyrics
I was born in the southern landYeah, a million miles from americaAnd whatever we wanted was just a matter of choosingAnd I was raised in the great white wayJust like all those kids in americaAnd 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 pityThis is the real world, in the shadow of the cityThis is the real wheel,You dont get too many spinsThis is the real deal, not everybody winsJust another soul lost in americaI was so frustrated and I got so lonelyIt almost took a miracle to open my eyesWorld start turning (turn into the wind)World start turning (some things were never meant to be)Ive been standing on the beachCrying to the raging seaI was falling, fallingHeart start beating (turn into the wind)Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)Made a promise to myselfIll never get that low againWe were taught if man believes inWhat he wants in americaIts only a matter of time, just a matter of seasonsBut I walk through the houses of dreams that diedI see the ones still trapped there the ones that triedBut spent the rest of their lives wondering whyAnd searching for reasons (and they never wake up)This is the real world, youve got to know just when to bendHere in the world, precious little matters in the endThis is the real world, the real town without pityThis is the real world, in the shadow of the cityJust another soul lost in americaI was so frustrated and I got so lonelyIt almost took a miracle to open up my eyesWorld start turning (turn into the wind)World start turning (some things were never meant to be)Ive been standing on the beachCrying to the raging seaI was falling, fallingHeart start beating (turn into the wind)Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)Made a promise to myselfIll never get that low againYou cant stop the world, cant stop the worldNever could settle for where I wasToo many places I was trying to beThe times I succeeded and the times I failedYou know that no one will remember but meWorld start turning, world start turningIve been standing on the beachCrying to the raging seaI was falling, fallingHeart start beating (turn into the wind)Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)Made a promise to myselfIll never get that low again
