Turn the World Around
©1975 Harry Belafonte / Clara Music Publishing Corp. (ASCAP).

This song is a great lead-in to the four classical elements. Earth, air, water, and fire (the sun) make just about everything else on this album possible. The chorus works well in sign language. The rhythm is great for hand claps or accompanying with homemade percussion instruments.

(with a lively calypso beat)

We come from the mountains, we come from the mountains
Go back to the mountains, turn the world around

We come from the mountains
Go back to the mountains, turn the world around
Go back to the mountains, turn the world around

We come from the water, we come from the water
Go back to the water, turn the world around

We come from the water
Go back to the water, turn the world around
Go back to the water, turn the world around

We come from the fire, we come from the fire
Go back to the fire, turn the world around

We come from the fire
Go back to the fire, turn the world around
Go back to the fire, turn the world around

We come from the sky, we come from the sky
Go back to the sky, turn the world around

We come from the sky
Go back to the sky, turn the world around
Go back to the sky, turn the world around

So we come from the mountains, we come from the water
Go back to the fire, turn the world around

We come from the sky
Go back to the sky, turn the world around
Go back to the sky, turn the world around
Go back to the sky, turn the world around
Yes go back to the sky... turn the world around

The Four Elements
This song is a great lead into the four classical elements. Earth, air, water, and fire (the sun) make just about everything else on this album possible. The chorus works well in sign language.

The rhythm is great for hand claps or accompanying with homemade percussion instruments.
