Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Empty moments when I feel hopeless
Have left me restless inside
Doubt and sadness have kept me in fragments
Longing for a better life
Oh, it's the way the world turns
The way, the way
And I feel the current pulling me down
Can't keep the world from turning around
So I keep turning to You
I keep turning
'Cause You're the hope of a new sunrise
Breaking over a desperate life
And I keep turning to You
I keep turning to You
I'm so distracted by senseless passions
Tempting my wandering eyes
But ever pursuit brings me closer to the truth
That only You can satisfy
When I feel the current pulling me down
Can't keep the world from turning around
So I keep turning to You
I keep turning
'Cause You're the hope of a new sunrise
Breaking over a desperate life
And I keep on turning to You
I keep turning
The way we're hurting keeps us turning to You
To You
Oh it's the way the world turns
The way the world turns
Oh, and I keep on turning to You
Oh it's the way the world turns
The way the world turns
Oh, and I keep on turning to You
'Cause You're the hope of a new sunrise
Breaking over a desperate life
And I keep on turning to You
Oh it's the way the world turns
The way the world turns
Oh, and I keep on turning to You
I keep turning to You
I keep turning to You
