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
It's just a case of others suffering
All you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that some how
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord
Using words we will find as strange
Mesmerized as we light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away from the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away
