Song lyrics
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 frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But ooh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and the 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
But ooh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Ooh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'Cos on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Ooh, the tide is turning
Ooh, 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
Ooh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester

The tide is turning

Cyndi Lauper is not accurate. "The Tide is Turning (After Live Aid)" sung by the Company (lead vocals by Roger Waters, Joni Mitchell, , Bryan Adams, Van Morrison Paul Carrack, and ...Cyndi Lauper) & the Rundfunk Orchestra & Choir.
