From where you sit you cannot see it No one watches anyway No one stops to listen for it Covered by the sounds of day
But we each play our own part in it Nothing that you need to learn Every breath from birth to dying We all help the world to turn
CHORUS: Turning like the water flowing From the mountains to the sea A gentle wind that keeps on blowing Pray that it will always be Turning around, this old world, turning around
Through the window I can see you In the garden sewing seeds Hand and heart with rain and sunshine Growing what the family needs
CHORUS: Need it like the water flowing From the mountains to the sea Keep the roots and branches growing Pray that they will always be Turning around, this old world, turning around
All God's creatures have their own way Knowing how and what to do Buzzing bees and birds a singing Like I sing this song for you
CHORUS: Sing it like the water flowing From the mountains to the sea This melody that keeps on going Pray that it will always be Turning around, this old world, turning around
