F#m A
From where you sit you cannot see it
F#m A
No one watches anyway
F#m A
No one stops to listen for it
E F#m
Covered by the sounds of day
F#m A
But we each play our own part in it
F#m A
Nothing that you need to learn
F#m A
Every breath from birth to dying
E F#m
We all help the world to turn
[Chorus 1]
E F#m
Turning like the water flowing
E F#m
From the mountains to the sea
E F#m
A gentle wind that keeps on blowing
E
Pray that it will always be
D A
Turning around, this old world, turning around
[Verse 2]
F#m A
Through the window I can see you
F#m A
In the garden sewing seeds
F#m A
Hand and heart with rain and sunshine
E F#m
Growing what the family needs
[Chorus 2]
E F#m
Need it like the water flowing
E F#m
From the mountains to the sea
E F#m
Keep the roots and branches growing
E
Pray that they will always be
D A
Turning around, this old world, turning around
[Verse 3]
F#m A
All God’s creatures have their own way
F#m A
Knowing how and what to do
F#m A
Buzzing bees and birds a singing
E F#m
Like I sing this song for you
[Chorus 3]
E F#m
Sing it like the water flowing
E F#m
From the mountains to the sea
E F#m
This melody that keeps on going
E
Pray that it will always be
D A
Turning around, this old world, turning around
