Allison Winkel (Baldwin Wallace Music Theatre Class of 2021) singing "Turn Back O' Man" at a voice departmental at the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music in February 2018.
Turn back, O man Forswear thy foolish ways Old now is earth And none may count her days Da da da da da Yet thou, her child Whose head is crowned with flames Still will not hear Thine inner God proclaims Turn back, O man (Is your seat comfortable sir?) Turn back, O man (Mmm, I like that) Turn back, O man (Can you take it?) Forswear thy foolish ways (See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-AY-ter) Earth might be fair And all men glad and wise Age after age their tragic empires rise Built while they dream And in that dreaming weep Would man but wake From out his haunted sleep Turn back, O man...(i'll say it again) Turn back, O man... (Can you see from where you're sittin'?) Turn back, O man... (Hard as a rock) Forswear thy foolish ways [ [GIBBON] C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya! [CHORUS] Turn back, oh man Forswear thy foolish ways! Old now is earth And none may count her days Yet thou, her child Whose head is crowned with flames Still will not hear Thine inner God proclaims Turn back, oh man Turn back, oh man Turn back, oh man Forswear thy foolish ways

Turn back, O man
Forswear thy foolish ways

Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear
Thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, O man (Is your seat comfortable sir?)
Turn back, O man (Mmm, I like that)

Forswear thy foolish ways
(See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-AY-ter)
Earth might be fair
And all men glad and wise
Age after age their tragic empires rise
Built while they dream
And in that dreaming weep
Would man but wake
From out his haunted sleep
Turn back, O man...(i'll say it again)
Turn back, O man... (Can you see from where you're sittin'?)
Turn back, O man... (Hard as a rock)
Forswear thy foolish ways

Forswear thy foolish ways!
Old now is earth
And none may count her days
Yet thou, her child
Whose head is crowned with flames
Still will not hear
Thine inner God proclaims
Turn back, oh man
Turn back, oh man
Turn back, oh man
Forswear thy foolish ways
this intimidated me so much that now im fixated on working on my voice so i can eventually do this better than you because my ego is fragile :')
holy shit
I HAVENT HEARD THIS ONE SINCE THE YEAR OF 73 FROM GODSPELL.
Was this sung by Joanne or Sonia in 1973?
I think Sonia was too involved with Sesame Street to do it.
This is kinda random..but she'd make an amazing Fiona from Shrek lol
Yess she definitely could be casted in the musical! 😭🙌🏽
CAME FROM TIK TOK, I’m obsessed!!!!!
ahh this is so late but what sheet music did you use??
@Allison Your performance deserved a better recording.
1:50
holy shit
