Harry Belafonte - Turn The World Around Lyrics

A legend .
A treasure.

how was this song not part of the Little Mermaid soundtrack?

This was at SUNY Purchase? I almost wound up going there for college (I'm at New Paltz instead)

beutifull

I sang this in 1995 senior year of high school in choir

Love this song and really like this version but those keyboard sounds are really odd

A great gentleman Harry Belafonte who always did fight for Human Rights. An icon, the Calypso King with his hoarse voice and Charisma

Wow I really like this song🥰🥰🥰🥰

PRAYER FOR THE NEGROES














ALMIGHTY God, we come to
YOU knowing that YOU are the God of our forefathers. YOU have called
us from among the world to be your people, YOU have set us apart with
one intention and one intention only, and that is to be set apart
from the world and to be Your people, Holy and dedicated to you. Yes,
we have sin a great sin, we have gone after other gods, gods that
cannot feel nor hear gods who cannot help, gods that are not touched
with the feelings of our infirmity. As a result of our sin, you have
allowed our enemies to enslave us, and inflict on us all sorts of
atrocities. As we confess, please forgive our many sins. Our
forefathers and mothers have been raped, we have lost our God, our
identity, our language, and our land (Israel) and we have been killed
all day long by the people who have enslaved us and by their security
forces, while justice is far from us. We call upon YOU ADONAI; we
call upon You, ELOHIM, the God of our Fathers. We are tired; yes we
are tired of the scorns and ridicules that come our way. While others
pathways are paved with gold, ours are paved with suffering. Our
children were thrown to the alligator by our enemies, were hanged and
they even made fun of their evil deeds by referring to them as
GATOR-BATE and LYNCHING. They robbed us of our identity to the extent
that we have completely lost our way, serving their gods and
rejecting YOU, the only wise God. Hear our cries O' Almighty God and
come to our rescue. We tried to build ourselves together and they use
their weapons to abolish what we have built. We are TIRED O' God, You
and You alone are our refuge. Come swiftly and avenge us, deliver us
from our enemies. Restore us back to the land that they have stolen
from us. We long to be a people once more, restore the twelve tribes,
the tribes that are the APPLE OF YOUR EYES. Almighty God, even the
Churches that call themselves, “followers of Christ”, your Holy
Son show prejudice against us. SWIFTLY MOVE AND REVEAL YOURSELF
STRONG, BRING SEVERE PUNISHMENT UPON THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE
ARE YOUR CALLED OUT ONES and not some man-made Europeans, who are
living in our land, having no knowledge of Your LAWS. We promise that
YOU delivering us will allow us to assemble back into our land, where
we will offer the sacrifices of praise unto YOU. WE ARE TIRED…

OF THE LORD AND COME ALIVE!

I forgot about this song until watching Jim Henson's memorial. I loved watching it on The Muppets. I love Harry B!

were always singing harry belafont songs at school

just discovered this track. brilliant music, high class performers. so wholesome for the soul. it sets a touching example how to deal with diversity

What is the string instrument at the beginning.... Funky sound... starts at 7 seconds approx...

Rob Monty248 berimbau.

I recorded this concert and worn the tape out literally until it just gave up the ghost and popped!

Fantastic duet... All are great

singing this in chorus today we practice it

i love this song

I'm singing this in choir it is an amazing song

karli clapp me too

Yea me too

Just like Jim Henson (R.I.P.), I would love to have this performed at my memorial service when my days are over, preferably during the banquet. What better way to remind people that life goes on for everyone else?

A Dixieland Jazzband. Which I would want done for my funeral

That's better than my mom's idea for hers...she wants to be cremated and her ashes spread on a dance floor and danced on...basically in celebration of her life she doesn't want any sadness...yeah you're my mom of course I'll be sad

This is my favorite song of all time! 

Brilliant piece of artwork by His rRyal Majesty, King Harry Belafonte, once again!!!
