Trade Winds

Here I stand looking

Looking all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

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

We're caught in the trade winds (trade winds)

The trade winds of our time

Here I stand looking

Looking all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

What do I see?

(Young girls who will soon become) Young girls who'll

soon become

(Walkers of the avenue) Streetwalkers in the night

(Young boys of the neighborhood) Young boys, the

restless breed

(Tell me what they're gonna do) And they're looking

for

a fight

(Children who are rich and poor) Children both rich

and poor

(Tell me what they're searching for) 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 (trade winds)

Ooh, the trade winds of our time

The trade winds are blowing

Blowing all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

What do I see?

Hatred yes and jealousy,

(Hatredness and jealousy)

Brotherhood is dying out

Brotherhood is dying

(Love is what we really need)

Love is the answer, but nobody's buying

Good people turning bad

Some don't, but there are few

The trade winds are blowing, the choice is up to you

We're caught in the trade winds (trade winds)

Ooh, the trade winds of our time, ooh yes

Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds

Ooh, trade winds of our time, oh yeah

We're caught up, we're caught up in the trade winds

Yeah, yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Ohhhh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We're caught up in the trade winds, trade winds

Trade winds of our time

We're caught up, we're caught up in the trade winds
