       Christopher Cross(born Christopher Charles Geppert; May 3, 1951) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer from San Antonio, Texas. Cross won five Grammy Awards for his eponymous debut album released in 1979. The singles "Sailing" (1980), and "Arthur's Theme(Best That You Can Do)" (from the 1981 film Arthur) peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "Sailing" earned three Grammys in 1981, while "Arthur's Theme" won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen).

        Every Turn of the World is the third studio album by Christopher Cross, recorded and released in 1985. The album is notable for its harder rocking sound and often lacking the pop ballads that dominated the sound of previous albums. Though the album itself peaked at Nº 127 on the Billboard 200, the only single from the album to chart, "Charm the Snake", peaked only at Nº 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. The other two singles from the album, the title track and "Love Is Love (In Any Language)", failed to chart.

We think about the loves we lost

Will it come again?

We think of all the things we want

Will we ever win?

We listen to the voice of children

Will they find their way

Keep an open heart

The answer to it all's a wish away

 

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you

To the dream that's waitin' to find you

'Cause there's one more chance

With every turn of the world

Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom

Or the strong warm touch of a body

There are all these things

With every turn of the world

 

Human kindness diamond of the heart

Tearing down the old walls

As long as we can share

Desire's not a sin, after all

When you find yourself alone

Missing tender magic touching you

Keep an open heart

Everything you dream can still be true

 

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you

To the dream that's waitin' to find you

'Cause there's one more chance

With every turn of the world

Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom

Or the strong warm touch of a body

There are all these things

With every turn of the world

 

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you

To the dream that's waitin' to find you

'Cause there's one more chance

With every turn of the world

We all want a world we can live in

We all want a world full of love

It's never too late, it's never too soon

Whatever you can do is enough

 

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you

To the dream that's waitin' to find you

'Cause there's one more chance

With every turn of the world

Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom

Or the strong warm touch of a body

There are all these things

With every turn of the world

 

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you

To the dream that's waitin' to find you

'Cause there's one more chance

With every turn of the world

 

Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom

Or the strong warm touch of a body

There are all these things

With every turn of the world.
