Turn around
Turn around I'm right behind you
Turn around I'll turn around too
Turn around so we can hold hands
Turn around it's lighter flatter
Turn around hot peas and butter
Turn around I'm flowing in the grass
Straight how can you be so straight
Life's everything but straight
It's going up and down
Far happiness isn't far
Not far from where you are
Watching your life go by
Now why don't you sing out loud
To the tune you keep inside
Turn around around the circle
Turn around just like duetto
Turn around and listen to the wind
Turn around and put your pen down
Turn around your feet off the ground
Turn around and your head
in the clouds
Shy how can you be so shy
Hiding below the stars
Under your neon light
Hi don't say hello say hi
Hi to a higher sky
Hi to a higher ground
Loud why don't you sing out loud
The words you keep inside
Why don't sing it out loud
Why don't you sing out loud
The song you keep inside

About the book:
Pre-reading
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was a French writer and pilot. As a young boy, he was obsessed with aeroplanes, riding in one for the first time at the age of 12. He spent much of his life flying and writing about his adventures. His most successful work, The Little Prince, is one of the best selling books ever published. The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935. He nearly died, and wandered around for four days before being rescued. In 1944, Saint-Exupery left on a wartime mission over occupied France, from which he never returned. Although the remains of his plane were discovered in 2000, his body has never been found, and the cause of his death remains unknown.

Never forget why you started, and your mission can be accomplished.
