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)     GIt's (320003@1)a sin that somehow
            C (x32010@1)       EmLight (022000@1)is changing to shadow
          D (xx0232@1)  GAnd (320003@1)casting its shroud
      COver (x32010@1)all we have known
Em (022000@1)            C (x32010@1)        GUnaware (320003@1)how the ranks have grown
Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)      CDriven (x32010@1)on by a heart of stone
G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1) EmWe (022000@1)could find that we're all alone
       D (xx0232@1)          GIn (320003@1)the dream of the proud




Em (022000@1)   D (xx0232@1)          GOn (320003@1)the wings of the night
       C (x32010@1)        EmAs (022000@1)the daytime is slurring
          D (xx0232@1)       GWhere (320003@1)the speechless unite
     CIn (x32010@1)a silent accord
G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)       EmUsing (022000@1)words you will find are strange
G (320003@1)                   Em (022000@1)       CAnd (x32010@1)mesmerized as they light the flame
G (320003@1)                  CFeel (x32010@1)the new wind of change
Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)         GOn (320003@1)the wings of the night



Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)     GNo (320003@1)more turning away
         C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)From the weak and the weary
Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)     GNo (320003@1)more turning away
         CFrom (x32010@1)the coldness inside
G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)      EmJust (022000@1)a world that we all must share
G (320003@1)                     Em (022000@1)      CIt's (x32010@1)not enough just to stand and stare
G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)               Em (022000@1)     
Is it only a dream that there'll be
        D (xx0232@1)     GNo (320003@1)more turning away?
