On The Turning Away

On the turning away

From the pale and downtrodden

And the words they say

Which we won't understand

"Don't accept that what's happening

Is just a case of others' suffering

Or you'll find that you're joining in

The turning away"

               G
It's a sin that somehow
            C         Em
Light is changing to shadow
          D    G
And casting its shroud
      C
Over all we have known
Em              C          G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em             G        C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G                        C   Em
We could find that we're all alone
       D            G
In the dream of the proud

Em     D            G
On the wings of the night
       C          Em
As the daytime is slurring
          D         G           C
Where the speechless unite In a silent accord

Em                   C         G
Using words you will find are strange
    Em                 G         C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G                    C
Feel the new wind of change
Em      D           G
On the wings of the night

       D  Am  C  D
       Am  C  D  Em

Em      D       G
No more turning away
         C           Em
From the weak and the weary
Em      D       G             C
No more turning away From the coldness inside

Em                   C        G
Just a world that we all must share
Em                      G         C
It's not enough just to stand and stare
G             C                 Em
Is it only a dream that there'll be
        D       G
No more turning away?
