1. On the turning a way from the pale and down trodden

And the words they say which we won’t understand

Don’t accept that what’s happe ning

Is just a case of all the suffe ring

Or you’ll find that you’re joining in

The turning a way

2. It's a sin that somehow, light is changing to shadow

And casting it’ shroud over all we have know

Unaware how the ranks have grown

Driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that we’re all alone

In the dream of the proud

3. On the wings of the night as the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange

And mesmerised as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night

4. No more turning away From the weak and the weary

No more turning away From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share

It's not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there'll be

No more turning away
