Turn This Island Earth

A starfish in a sea of dreams A ride that's never ending From a lost world into a spinning Fairground in space Shining teapot spilling a mother ship of fire Aladdin's lamp pouring down the Milky Way Big Dipper roller coaster jumping jack exploding Night and day you've whirling on a ferris wheel Turn this Island Earth A red shift cluster bright Signal from the other side Lampwick and Slats are laughing Beyond the speed of light years passing All the shooting stars Rings of Saturn calling a red planet blazing The singing moans of Jupiter around your eyes Turn this Island Earth Looking back from where we are City lights clusters of stars While we fly A jewel in the crown of a universe Saphire blue in a golden starburst Oceans of deep blue Standing on the moon Gazing at all the mountains in China Mother Earth sleeping With all her children inside her Starbound spirits Rising in mind out of time Free from the bonds around us Captives in waking mankind Turn this Island Earth
