On the turning away
From the weak and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept what is happening
It's just a case of the suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And is casting its shroud
Over all that we've known
Around the world how the ransom grows
All driven on by a heart of stone
We may find that we're all alone
In the dreams of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is slurring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words we will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new winds of change
On the wings of the night
From the weak and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept what is happening
It's just a case of the suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And is casting its shroud
Over all that we've known
Around the world how the ransom grows
All driven on by a heart of stone
We may find that we're all alone
In the dreams of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is slurring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words we will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new winds of change
On the wings of the night
