Story Behind The Song

Sitting with my guitar during Corona 19... it occurred to me that we might be at a pivotal time in history. The Cleaner Air and Water... less commotion outside. Maybe this is all a good thing. Maybe it is a chance for a worldwide enlightenment. Maybe Mother Earth has just given us unruly people a big "timeout" to think about the way we've been treating her...

Song Description

Asks the question... is it too late to change our World

Lyrics

When we turn this around... 4/27/20 Joseph Miller Copyright...

When the lion lies down with the lamb, When those who would do battle, instead (choose to) shake hands
When children play without hunger or fear, and their water and their air turns perfectly clear

Well I want to be there... known as one who cares
I want to be there, A hopeful one who dared
When we turn this around...

When each man looks out for his fellow man, You can always count on him to lend a helping hand
When every last soul has a warm and safe home, And in their darkest hour, never feeling alone

I want to be there... known as one who cares,I want to be there, one who hopes and dares
That we can turn this around... we can turn this around.

Bridge

Will the Price of our Redemption, stop us cold, Will we just claim there's no exemption from what is foretold
Will we heed this lesson, change our ways? Will we look back on this day, proudly to say?


If a single starling should fall from the sky, Don't let me be the one to turn a blind eye D
If someone should think to plant a single tree. With dreams and hope for its future... let that man be me
?
Yes, I was there, I was Known as one who cared, Yes, was there.
One of those hopeful ones who dared
When we turned this around, ?When we turned this around
When we turned this around
