I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And I frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
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 our children are learning
And oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh-oh-oh, yeah, the tide is turning
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning
Now the satellite's confused 'cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning
Oh, but 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 hands of the warlords
Whoa-oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning, ooh yeah
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning (the tide is turning)
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning, over and over
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh-oh-oh, the tide is turning
Oh, yeah, the tide is turning, is turning, baby, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh, oh, the tide, the tide is turning (oh yes, baby, oh yes)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, the tide is turning
Whoa-oh, oh-yeah, oh, the tide is turning
Yeah, oh-ooh, turning

I just wanna thank, I wanna thank everybody on this crew
They're people from the east and from the west
They all worked together to make this thing happen
And they were great, thank you all
ย
All alone, or in two's
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
