Trade Winds

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...
