I want to see what people saw 
I want to feel like I felt before 
I want to see the kingdom come 
I want to feel forever young 
I want to sing 
To sing my song 
I want to live in a world where I belong 
I want to live 
I will survive 
And I believe that it won't be very long 

If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn 
Then we might learn 
So where's the stars? 
Up in the sky 
And what's the moon? 
A big balloon 
We'll never know unless we grow 
There's so much world outside the door 

I want to sing 
To sing my song 
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong 
I want to live 
I will survive 
And I believe that it won't be very long 

If we turn, turn, turn, turn 
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn 
Then we might learn 
Turn, turn, turn, turn 
Turn, turn, turn 
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn 
Then we might learn 
Learn to turn
