When the World Turned

[Verse] The old general store, now a parking lot, Where Mr. Jones sold yarn and soda pop. A big-box mall, where the fields used to grow, The creeks dry up, 'cause the times changed so. [Chorus] When the world turned, we lost our way, Trading simple nights for the neon day. When the world turned, the past was sold, Now it’s stories we trade for gold. [Verse 2] Grandma's kitchen, turned to granite and steel, No Sunday gatherings, no home-cooked meals. We'd gather round the radio's hum, Now it's all on screens, where have we come? [Chorus] When the world turned, we lost our way, Trading simple nights for the neon day. When the world turned, the past was sold, Now it’s stories we trade for gold. [Bridge] But here I am with this old guitar, Playing songs ‘bout who we are. Maybe one day we’ll find our track, Turn this world around, take it back. [Verse 3] The church bell chimes now digitally, The soulful echoes lost in history. Where once we prayed, now we scroll and like, Lost the heart's touch, wounded the pike.
