Spinning
©2001 Garrett Clevenger
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."
