On The Turning Away

[00:13.14] On the turning away

[00:18.28] From the pale and downtrodden

[00:26.84] And the words they say

[00:28.55] Which we won’t understand

[00:34.54] “Don’t accept that what’s happening

[00:40.24] Is just a case of all the suffering

[00:44.24] Or you’ll find that you’re joining in

[00:47.95] The turning away”

[00:52.80] It’s a sin that somehow

[00:57.37] Light is changing to shadow

[01:01.94] And casting its shroud

[01:04.51] Over all, we have known

[01:08.51] Unaware how the ranks have grown

[01:14.22] Driven on by a heart of stone

[01:19.07] We could find that we’re all alone

[01:22.49] In the dream of the proud

[01:27.91] On the wings of the night

[01:32.20] As the daytime is stirring

[01:37.05] Where the speechless unite

[01:39.34] In a silent accord

[01:43.33] Using words you will find are strange

[01:47.89] Mesmerized as they light the flame

[01:53.88] Feel the new wind of change

[01:57.01] On the wings of the night

[02:35.81] No more turning away

[02:51.47] From the weak and the weary

[02:56.32] No more turning away

[02:58.31] From the coldness inside

[03:03.45] Just a world that we all must share

[03:08.30] It’s not enough just to stand and stare

[03:13.15] Is it only a dream that there’ll be

[03:16.58] No more turning away?
