Seek the truth!

Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

(Fuzzy bass and wah-wah guitar, slow build)

Verse 1

Sun beats down on this dusty road

Chains wrapped tight around my soul

Preacher man he talked so fast

Never knew the truth could last

Pre-Chorus

I been looking in the wrong direction

Tracing lines of my own reflection

Chorus

Won't you turn it around

Turn it around now

Hear the sound

From the other side of the ground

Verse 2

Old ways kept me in the dark

Now I'm learning how to spark

Listen close to what's been said

Whispered words inside my head

Pre-Chorus

Every echo carries a correction

A new direction

Chorus

Won't you turn it around

Turn it around now

Hear the sound

From the other side of the ground

Bridge

(Fading into a swirling, psychedelic haze)

!rehtaf eht yfirolyg dog kees uoy sevol rotaerc eht

Guitar Solo

(Southern slide guitar over a funk groove, then a DJ-style cut-up section with echo and dub effects)

Outro

(Whispered, layered, phasing in and out)

Turn it around

Turn it around

Hear the sound

The sound

The sound...
