Trade winds

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 my self
Life is no easy game
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our times
Here I stan looking
Looking around me
While all around me
What do I see?
(young girls who'll soon become) Young girls who'll soon become
( walkers on the avenue) Street walkers in the night
(young boys and their neighbourhood) Young boys, the restless bleed
(knowing what they're gonna find) Looking for a fight
Children, both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
If they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our times
Trade winds are blowing
Blowing around me
While all around me
What do I see?
(hatred and jealousy) Hatred and jealousy
(brothehood's dying) Brothehood's dying
(love is what we really need) Love is the answer
That nobody's buying
Good people turning bad
Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
Thje choice is up to you
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Yes, we're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
