The Tide Is Turning lyrics
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quotient of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald,Duck light
and frighten myself with the thought of them burning
But oh oh oh the tide is turning
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and World Title fights
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest, who is the best, who holds the Aces, the East or the West
This is the crap that our children are learning
But oh oh oh the tide is turning
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
Now the satellite's confused
cause on Saturday night
the airwaves were filled with compassion and Light
And his silicon Heart warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy
I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
oh oh oh the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
Oh oh oh the tide is turning
oh oh oh the tide is turning

Big Fan of Roger Waters
For 40 years now Pink Floyd's classic music has touched and inspired me. Lately with Roger Waters on his own I have been moved again by his recorded concerts and, in interviews, his willingness to openly challenge that powers that were. Great song this one. Inspires me to do more with my own.
