On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden, And the words they say Which we won't understand
It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting it's shroud Over all we have known
"Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of all the suffering
Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone
Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away"
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
No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside
Using words you will find are strange, And mesmerised as they light the flame
Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare
Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night
Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away ?
