Bryan K. Washington: Music

I wrote this song on the eve of the war in Iraq, hoping to get Musicians from OutMusic to record it with me. Things didn't work out as planned. So I became a one man choir. As fate would have it, the video for Turn it Around features OutMusicians Raising their voices against Hate, bigotry and violence against LBGT People - 9/13/08.

Turn It Around
We've got to turn it around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Turn It Around
We've got to turn things around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Transitioning through the next phase of evolution
there's only one way to move on
World's caught up in a ball of confusion
Half the people got no idea what's going on

Sleeping in a web of twisted illusions
Wake up everybody
Open up your eyes

Turn It Around
We've got to turn things around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Turn It Around
We've got to turn this ole world around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

At first like a whisper in the heart
Love speaks softly
The more you listen ever clear becomes the voice
Open your ears for the universe is calling
Spreading the word of a new day just about to dawn

The time for choosing has come
Tell me which side are you gonna be on

Turn It Around
We've got to turn it around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Lift your voice and say the word of peace to war
Open your mind to the ways of the ones you claim to adore
Its the only way we're gonna make through the darkest nights ahead to the shining light on the other side of the shore

Turn It Around
We've got to turn things around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Turn It Around
We've got to turn this ole world around
Take a look inside your
Find the light of love
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
