Spinning

C  F x2              Imagine what would happen if the world stopped spinning and

C  F                     could not make its way around the

G                          Sun.  Would it

G  F x2              float out into space and join the human race who

G  F                     long ago forgot where we be-

C                          gun.

 

C  F x2              Would the wind stop blowing and the ocean stop flowing? 

C  F                     Could anything even move at

G                          all?

G  F x2              Would people be affected, we seem so disconnected from the

G  F                     long bugs and plants and soil beyond our

C                          wall?

 

Dm  Em            Would people come together like birds of a feather to

Dm  Em            put us in our orbit once again?  Or would

Dm  Em            apathy abound and keep us running round and

F                           contentedly stay within our

G F Em Dm    spin into our

F Em Dm G    lonely view?

 

C  F x2              Imagine what would happen if people started loving and

C  F                     caring for their neighbors down the

G                          road.

G  F x2              Wars would go away.  We could party every day. 

G  F                     long I would help to lift your heavy

C                          load.

 

C  F x2              But first we have to find a way to lift our mind and

C  F                     put us in our orbit once

G                          again.

G  F x2              So let us start grinning and together start spinning and

G  F                     long realize everything is

C                          one.

 

Dm  Em            Earth will stay in orbit if we just go for it and

Dm  Em            reach for that feeling deep inside.

Dm  Em            When we pull it out, everyone will shout and the

F                           world will stay spinning in its

G F Em Dm    pride we found and

F Em Dm G    shout so loud to

 

C  F x2              "Keep on spinning on.  Keep on spinning on. 

C  F                     Keep on spinning on and

G                          on.

G  F x2              Keep on spinning on.  Keep on spinning on. 

G  F                     Keep on spinning on and

C                          on."
