On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And words they say Which we won t understand "Dont accept that what s happening Is just a case of other 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 casting it s shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by heart of stone We could find that we re all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find us strange And mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It s not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there ll be
No more turning away? |
