Turn on the world,
Give 'em a taste of how free your love can be.
Turn on the world,
You don't wanna waste all your warmth on me.

You say you've got wings, teach them to fly.
Teach them to love and not question why.
Teach them to live and then just watch 'em die,
As you turn on the world.

Turn on the world,
I'm just one man and that ain't enough for you.
Turn on the world,
You know you can girl, it won't be tough for you.

Reach for your star, ride the highway.
Pick up the souls that wait to be saved.
All you can give me you already gave.
Now go turn on the world.

But where my mind goes now,
Is no longer your concern.
You're hearin' new voices now,
And I'm just a bridge to burn.
You've got so many choices now,
You don't know where to turn, turn, turn.

Turn on the world.
Oh, go on, babe.

Turn on the world,
Live life to the hilt, march to your own, sweet tune.

Don't stop for the guilt 'cause it might ruin your afternoon.

You say I should smile, stand and be strong.
'Cause we had our time and we sung our song.
Don't worry about me, baby, just run along.
And go turn on the world.

Oh, show them how real your love can be.
Turn on the world.
You don't wanna waste, don't wanna waste,
Don't wanna waste an hour on me.

You say you've got wings (you've got wings),
Teach them to fly (to fly).
Teach them to love (teach them better love),
And not question why (and not question why).
Teach them to live and then just watch 'em die.
As you turn on the world,

Go now.
