When The Winds Blow |
| Common people living quietly in confusion |
| Information’s giving quite a grand illusion |
| Hearts are beating, keeping time to meet a deadline |
| Faces pressed against the pane to watch a headline |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call you |
| We will stand and watch them fall |
| All our ships are sailing blindly under one sun |
| Sending signals, calling kindly, reaching no-one |
| Echoes sound the shifting air of empires calling |
| Hold my hand, the shifting sand of empires falling |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call you |
| We will stand and watch them fall |
| Oh, we’ll stand and watch them fall |
| We confided, then decided not to follow |
| All the slogans, taunts and charges, sound so hollow |
| With open minds across the border, we have waited |
| But keeping place within this race is complicated |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call you |
| We will stand and watch them |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call |
| When the winds blow I will call you |
| We will stand and watch them fall |
| Oh, we’ll stand and watch them fall |
