Turn back, O man  Forswear thy foolish ways  Old now is earth  And none may count her days  Yet thou, her child  Whose head is crowned with flames  Still will not hear  Thine inner God proclaims  Turn back, O man (is your seat comfortable sir?) (mm, I like that)  Turn back, O man (is my seat comfortable sir?) (Handle with care)  Turn back, O man (can you take it?)  Forswear thy foolish ways  (See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-ay-ter)  (Hold me while I slip into something more comfortable)  Earth might be fair  And all men glad and wise  Age after age their tragic empires rise  Built while they dream  And in that dreaming weep  Would man but wake  From out his haunted sleep  Turn back, O man...  Turn back, O man... (hard as a rock)  Turn back, O man...  Forswear thy foolish ways  Earth shall be fair  And all her people one  Not till that hour  Shall God's whole will be done  Now, even now  Once more from earth to sky  Peals forth in joy  Man's old undaunted cry  Earth shall be fair  And all her people one  C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya!  (chorus repeat first verse)  Forswear thy foolish ways!
