Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me what do I see Unhappy faces behind a painted smile Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style Unhappy people living in sin and shame Reflections of myself, life is no easy game And we're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of our time Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me what do I see Young girls who'll soon become Streetwalkers in the night Young boys, the restless breed Looking for a fight Children both rich and poor They're searching for the truth And if they don't find it God help tomorrow's youth We're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of our time Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me While all around me what do I see Hatred and jealousy Brotherhood is dying Love is the answer Nobody's buying Good people turning bad Some don't but they are few The winds are blowing The choice is all up to you We're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of our time Yes we're caught up in the trade winds The trade winds of our time And we are riding on the trade winds The trade wind of our time We're caught up Caught up in the trade winds, the trade winds of our time We are riding Riding on the trade wings, trade winds of our time We're caught up Caught up on the trade winds, the trade winds of our time And we're riding Riding on the trade wings, trade winds of our time We are riding, yes we're riding Trade wings of our time We're caught up Caught up in the trade winds, trade winds of our time We are riding We're riding on the trade wings, trade winds of our time And we're caught up In the trade winds, trade winds of our time We are riding Riding on the trade wings, the trade winds of our time
