[Verse 1]
There is light at the end of the tunnel
There is hope with the rising sun
Just play some reggae music and it will be a better day
Toots, Bob Marley, roots rock reggae

[Verse 2]
There are days in troubled times
You lose yourself inside your worried mind
Turn up reggae music, some Burning Spear
You will feel the beat of life so clear

[Chorus]
But I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn
I don't wanna wait so long
I've been waiting from thе break of dawn
I've been waiting so long for the tidе to turn (for the tide to turn)

[Verse 3]
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
The message in the music we can learn
Turn off, relax your mind, dig a little deeper leave it all behind
You will have to change for the tide to turn
[Chorus]
But I've been waiting so long (I've been waiting)
I've been waiting so long (I've been waiting)
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn
I don't wanna wait so long
I've been waiting from the break of dawn
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn (for the tide to turn)
(I've been waiting, and I've been waiting)
For the tide to turn, for the tide to turn
(And I've been waiting) I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
For the tide to turn, for the tide to turn
(Waiting for the tide to turn)
