Trade Winds 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
AND 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 STREETWALKERS IN THE NIGHT
YOUNG BOYS, THE RESTLESS BREED LOOKING FOR A FIGHT
CHILDREN BOTH RICH AND POOR THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH
AND IF THEY DON'T FIND IT GOD HELP TOMORROW'S YOUTH
WE'RE CAUGHT IN THE TRADE WINDS THE TRADE WINDS OF OUR TIME
TRADE WINDS ARE BLOWING, BLOWING AROUND ME WHILE ALL AROUND ME WHAT DO I SEE
HATRED AND JEALOUSY BROTHERHOOD IS DYING
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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

One-third of the I-Threes, reggae's most influential female vocal trio, Judy Mowatt helped to turn the last recordings of Bob Marley into enduring classics. Her sensuous harmonies strengthened albums by Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Big Youth, Pablo Moses, Freddie Mcgregor, U Roy, and the Wailing Souls. Her solo recordings, including Black Woman in 1980 and Only a Woman, two years later, marked her as a powerful spokesperson for Rastafarian and feminist causes.
