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 livin' in sin and shame
Reflections of myself, life is no easy gameWe're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our timeHere 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 fightChildren both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
And if they don't find it
God help tomorrows youth, oh yesWe're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our timeTrade 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 buyingGood people turnin' bad

Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to youWe're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahYes, we're caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are ridin' on the trade winds
The trade winds of our timeYes, we're caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
