The Tide Is Turning
A punched drunk man
In a down town bar
Takes a beating
Without making a sound
With swollen eyes
He sways and he smiles
Because no one can put him down
Inside him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign of an approved eye
I can’t fight you anymore
It is you I’m fighting for
The tide is turning
Into the streets
We’re coming out
We never sleep
Never get tired
In urban fields
And suburban life
The tide is turning now
We’ll never back down
We’re far from home
It’s for the better
It’s what we dream it’s all that matters
We are on our way united
This is because the tide is turning…
