Turn It Around
Jonathan Singh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like no one's listening
Filled up with hurt
I feel like I'm drowning
When my walls come crashing down
And my future is in doubt
You always find a way
()
Jesus you turn it around
You make things better
When everything is falling apart
You turn it around
I know you turn it around (yeah, yeah)x2
When nothing, makes any sense
When all I know, comes to an end
When I loose my footing and begin to fall
I know you will catch me
Help me stand tall
()
Jesus you turn it around
You make things better
When everything is falling apart
You turn it around
(Bridge)
And I know, you can do all things
That's why I'll cling, I'll cling to the cross
When the road gets long, and I can't find my way
I will look for you, look for you
()
Jesus you turn it around
You make things better
When everything is falling apart
You turn it around
I know you turn it around (yeah, yeah)x2

But even in those moments of despair, they believe that Jesus will find a way to save the day, to turn things around when everything feels like it's falling apart. The lyrics suggest an unshakeable faith that helps the singer stand tall despite chaos and uncertainty.
