On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away" Now the chords.
[Verse 1]
(Em) (D) G
It's a sin that somehow
C Em
Light is changing to shadow
D G
And casting its shroud
C
Over all we have known
Em C G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em G C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G C Em
We could find that we're all alone
D G
In the dream of the proud
[Verse 2]
Em D G
On the wings of the night
C Em
As the daytime is slurring
D G
Where the speechless unite
C
In a silent accord
G C Em
Using words you will find are strange
G Em C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G C
Feel the new wind of change
Em D G
On the wings of the night
[Verse 3]
Em D G
No more turning away
C Em
From the weak and the weary
Em D G
No more turning away
C
From the coldness inside
G C Em
Just a world that we all must share
G Em C
It's not enough just to stand and stare
G C Em
Is it only a dream that there'll be
D G
No more turning away?
