On The Turning Away

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
On the turning awayFrom the pale and downtroddenAnd the words they sayWhich we won't understand"Don't accept that what's happeningIs just a case of others' sufferingOr you'll find that you're joining inThe turning away"It's a sin that somehowLight is changing to shadowAnd casting it's shroudOver all we have knownUnaware how the ranks have grownDriven on by a heart of stoneWe could find that we're all aloneIn the dream of the proudOn the wings of the nightAs the daytime is stirringWhere the speechless uniteIn a silent accordUsing words you will find are strangeAnd mesmerised as they light the flameFeel the new wind of changeOn the wings of the nightNo more turning awayFrom the weak and the wearyNo more turning awayFrom the coldness insideJust a world that we all must shareIt's not enough just to stand and stareIs it only a dream that there'll beNo more turning away?
