Lyrics: Turn the World Around - Harry Belafonte

(via Every Square Inch, if again so smugly superior as to critique Belafonte and the Muppets at length for their insidious humanism; anyway, I have always had a connection with Harry Belafonte, because of "The Banana Boat Song")

"We come from the fire / living in the fire /
Go back to the fire / turn the world around,

We come from the water / living in the water /
Go back to the water / turn the world around,

We come from the mountain / living in the mountain /
Go back to the mountain / turn the world around,

Do you know who I am? / Do I know who you are?
See we one another clearly? / Do we know who we are?

Water make the river / river wash the mountain /
Fire make the sunlight / turn the world around,

Heart is of the river / body is the mountain /
Spirit is the sunlight / turn the world around,

We are of the spirit / truly of the spirit /
Only can the spirit turn the world around."
