When I Turn Around
from Tree Like Me by Rebecca Cross
about
This is a good one to sing with friends; ideally surrounding a campfire or sitting on a porch.
lyrics
VERSE: E, F#, A,
CHORUS: A, E, F#, then up to C# for the lyrics "where the 'sky' hits the ground'
Lyrics:
That bird outside my window just took off and flew
He goes where he must go and do what he must do
I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico
Don't gotta tell you about it, I just go
I'm heading to a land where the sky hits the ground
When I get there, that's when I turn around
(where the land hits the sky is where I turn around)
Oh, I've seen the way the sunlight hits the rain
And I've felt the way laughter cuts through pain
Oh I don't need one single reason to believe
Because I know it, I know it, I know it and that's all the proof I need.
I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico
Don't gotta tell anyone about it, I just go
I'm heading to a land where the sky hits the ground
When I get there, that's when I turn around
(where the land hits the sky is where I turn around)
CHORUS: A, E, F#, then up to C# for the lyrics "where the 'sky' hits the ground'
Lyrics:
That bird outside my window just took off and flew
He goes where he must go and do what he must do
I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico
Don't gotta tell you about it, I just go
I'm heading to a land where the sky hits the ground
When I get there, that's when I turn around
(where the land hits the sky is where I turn around)
Oh, I've seen the way the sunlight hits the rain
And I've felt the way laughter cuts through pain
Oh I don't need one single reason to believe
Because I know it, I know it, I know it and that's all the proof I need.
I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico
Don't gotta tell anyone about it, I just go
I'm heading to a land where the sky hits the ground
When I get there, that's when I turn around
(where the land hits the sky is where I turn around)
