Turn the Tide - Ian Thomas

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
