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 i frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and 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
And oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, the tide is turning
Oh, 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
But 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
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, the tide is turning sylvester
Oh, oh, the tide is turning. (repeat many times)
Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (Dublin, December 8, 1966 – London, July 26, 2023) was an Irish singer-songwriter of international fame. Known for her powerful voice and musical style that blended elements of pop, rock, folk, and traditional Irish music, O'Connor reached the peak of popularity in the 1990s with albums like "The Lion and the Cobra" (1987) and "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" (1990). The latter, featuring the iconic single "Nothing Compares 2 U", sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Her career was marked by controversial moments, such as the destruction of a portrait of the Pope during a televised performance in 1992, which earned her both hostility and admiration. Despite the controversies, O'Connor continued to release music until the end of her life, exploring new musical genres and addressing social and political issues in her songs. In 2017 she legally changed her name to Magda Davitt and in 2018 converted to Islam, taking the name Shuhada' Sadaqat.
