(MacDonald / Salter)Here I stand looking, looking around meWhile all around me what do I seeUnhappy faces behind a painted smileHeartache and loneliness dressed up in modern styleUnhappy people living in sin and shameReflections of myself, life is no easy gameWe're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeHere I stand looking, looking around meWhile all around me what do I seeYoung girls who'll soon becomeStreetwalkers in the nightYoung boys, the restless breedlooking 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 timeTrade winds are blowing, blowing around meWhile all around me what do I seeHatred and jealousyBrotherhood is dyingLove is the answerBut nobody's buyingGood people turning badSome don't but they are fewThe winds are blowingThe choice is all up to youWe're caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeYes we're caught up in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeWe are riding on the trade windsThe trade winds of our time
