don't you let nobody turn you 'round

it's a long

long journey to your own home

where your own truth is waiting to be found

and though others will tie you

and try to buy you

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

oh

the weak and timid ones will warn you

not to walk on unfamiliar ground

but it's there that you've got to go

to find what

you've got to know

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

and the silv'ry words tumble from the leaders

and the loud hosannas may abound

from the dungeons of history

you'll hear an answer

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

in the time long ago

there was a man

to the old lies he would not be bound

and they hung him to a tree for telling you and me

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

it's a long

long journey to your own home

where your own truth is waiting to be found

and though others will tie you

and try to buy you

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'round

turn you round

turn you 'round

don't you let nobody turn you 'roun
