[Verse 1] On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accepting that what's happening It's just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" [Verse 2] It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its 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 [Verse 3] On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find are strange Mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night [Verse 4] 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?
