Here I stand lookingLooking around meWhile all around me What do I see?Unhappy faces behind a painted smileHeartache and loneliness dressed up in modern styleUnhappy people living in sin and shameReflections of my selfLife is no easy gameWe're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timesHere I stan lookingLooking around meWhile all around meWhat do I see?(young girls who'll soon become) Young girls who'll soon become( walkers on the avenue) Street walkers in the night(young boys and their neighbourhood) Young boys, the restless bleed(knowing what they're gonna find) Looking for a fightChildren, both rich and poorThey're searching for the truthIf they don't find itGod help tomorrow's youthWe're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timesTrade winds are blowingBlowing around meWhile all around meWhat do I see?(hatred and jealousy) Hatred and jealousy(brothehood's dying) Brothehood's dying(love is what we really need) Love is the answerThat nobody's buyingGood people turning badSome don't but they are fewThe winds are blowingThje choice is up to youWe're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeYes, we're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeWe are caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our time
