Lyrics Turn the Tide - Ian Thomas

Turn the Tide

She’s in her darkest hour, it’s a domestic fight
She’s gazing down the tower, she wants to take a flight
There’s something with his head cause school is just too tough
He wants to cut his thread, his way to score enough
They’re on a path of trouble, they’re teamed up with despair
Their mind is one big rubble, their life’s a ni-ightmare
We gotta see the truth, it’s tough to be alive
21st century youth
We gotta turn the tide
Their life goes down the drain
Turn the tide
They lead a life of shame
We have to turn the tide
We’ve gotta see the truth
So turn the tide
It’s tough to be alive
Turn the tide
He’s bullied 'bout his skin, nobody seems to see his skills
His race is like a sin, so he grabs for the pills
She thinks her face is wrong, believes her boobs are small
The scorn keeps coming strong, she’s got a real death call
They’re so afraid to tell, they live in misery
Their hope is up for sale, it’s a zero destiny
We gotta see the truth, it’s strange to be alive
This puzzled online youth
We gotta turn the tide
Their life goes down the drain
Turn the tide
They lead a life of shame
Turn the tide
We’ve gotta see the truth
Turn the tide
It’s tough to be alive
Turn the tide
She lives in cellphone town, the queen of Facebook land
Found dead, alone with a crown, she had a million friends
He loves the pride parade, he’s just a gay old boy
They served him daily hate, he turned on self-destroy
Their life goes down the drain
So turn the tide
They lead a life of shame
We have to turn the tide
We’ve gotta see the truth
Turn the tide
It’s tough to be alive
Turn the tide
Their life goes down the drain
Turn the tide
They lead a life of shame
We have to turn the tide (Tide, tide)
We’ve gotta see the truth
Turn the tide
It’s tough to be alive
Turn the tide
