| 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 |
