Lyrics

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 myself, life is no easy game We're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of our time Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me what do I see (Young girls who'll soon become) young girls who'll soon become (Streetwalkers in the avenues) streetwalkers in the night (Young boys of the neighborhood) young boys the restless breed (Tell me what they gonna see) looking for a fight (Children who're rich and poor) 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 time We're the trade winds (we're the trade winds) Trade winds of our time Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me While all around me what do I see (Hatred and jealousy) hatred and jealousy (Brotherhood is dying) 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 they are few The winds are blowing The choice is all up to you We're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of our time Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds The trade winds of our time We are riding on the trade winds The trade winds of our time Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds The trade winds of our time We are riding on the trade winds The trade winds of our time Yes, we're caught up in the trade...
