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
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"                               Now the chords.

(Em)   (D)     G
It's a sin that somehow
            C         Em
Light is changing to shadow
          D    G
And casting its shroud
      C
Over all we have known
Em              C          G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em             G        C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G                        C   Em
We could find that we're all alone
       D            G
In the dream of the proud




Em     D            G
On the wings of the night
       C          Em
As the daytime is slurring
          D         G
Where the speechless unite
     C
In a silent accord
G                    C         Em
Using words you will find are strange
G                     Em         C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G                    C
Feel the new wind of change
Em      D           G
On the wings of the night



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