Turning The Tide

Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

Sometimes it gets hard to listen,
It gets hard just to use our eyes.
All around the storms are gathering,
All around just darkening skies.

Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

I don't want to see more destruction,
I am waiting for the turn of this tide.
I don't want to know any more of this evil,
Waiting for the turn of the tide.

Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

[short sax solo]

Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

Waiting for the cities to crumble,
I'm waiting for the skies to fall.
Waiting for the earth itself to rumble,
I'm waiting till the day I see us crawl.

Ah please, keep turning,
Keep turning, turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide...
