Feel It Turn (Great Big Sea)

I had a dream I was moving forward,
Floating gently to the sun;
I've come to see my world rewarded,
A new day has begun.

A lost bird caught in mid-migration,
Far away to a foreign land;
Offspring of a secret nation,
A new day has begun.

Now I can see the earth below me,
And I can feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.

Fog lifts to reveal potential,
For generations prophesied;
Our growth to be exponential,
Our promise finally realized.

Now I can see the earth below me,
And I can feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.

Feel it turn,
Across the sky;
The world it learns,
So must I.

Cut-steel wired into water,
Fixed link, circumnavigate;
Old men see your sons and daughters,
No longer, no longer hesitate.

So I can see the earth below me,
And I can feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.

And I can feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
Feel it turn.
