If the World Turned Upside Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a moment you've been waiting all your life for
When you feel you've found a meaning you could die for
And it happens when you seem to least expect it
All at once, you come alive and feel connected
I ignored beat inside my heart for too long
Had accepted what is right but always felt wrong
It's a secondhand of time I've been a slave to
But inside, there was a feeling, something I always knew

[Chorus 1]
If the world turned upside down
If the sky changed places with the ground
All the whispers, all the possible, be clear and loud
If the world turned upside down

[Verse 2]
When the road ahead just goes in one direction
And for every word you write, there's contradiction
When the inner voice of reason's full of doubt
What's the point in fitting if you're designed to stand out

[Chorus 1]
If the world turned upside down
If the sky changed places with the ground
All the whispers, all the possible, be clear and loud
If the world turned upside down
[Bridge]
I just wanna be free from limitations and rules
Imagine the space, what I could create
Imagine the look on their face

[Chorus 2]
If the world turned upside down
And the earth and sky changed around
If there'd [?] we'd walk in the stars
We'd do everything we're told we can't
What we'd think feel, we could shout it out
If the world turned upside down
If the world turned upside down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
