Trade Winds |
| Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me, what do I see? |
| Unhappy faces behind a painted smile |
| Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style |
| Unhappy people livin' in sin and shame |
| Reflections of myself, life is no easy game |
| We’re caught in the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
| Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me, what do I see? |
| Young girls, who’ll soon become |
| Streetwalkers in the night |
| Young boys, the restless breed |
| Looking for a fight |
| Children both rich and poor |
| They’re searching for the truth |
| And if they don’t find it God help tomorrows youth, oh yes |
| We’re caught in the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
| Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me While all around me, what do I see? |
| Hatred and jealousy |
| Brotherhood is dying |
| Love is the answer |
| But nobody’s buying |
| Good people turnin' bad |
| Some don’t but they are few |
| The winds are blowing |
| The choice is all up to you |
| We’re caught in the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Yes, we’re caught up in the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
| We are ridin' on the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
| Yes, we’re caught up in the trade winds |
| The trade winds of our time |
