On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away" Now the chords.
(Em) (D) G
It's a sin that somehow
Light is chaCnging to sEmhadow
And castinDg itsG shroud
Over aCll we have known
EmUnaware how the Cranks have Ggrown
EmDriven on by a Gheart of Cstone
GWe could find that we're Call Emalone
In the Ddream of the Gproud
EmOn the Dwings of the Gnight
As the Cdaytime is Emslurring
Where the DspeechlessG unite
In a Csilent accord
GUsing words you will Cfind are sEmtrange
GAnd mesmerized as theyEm light the Cflame
GFeel the new wind of Cchange
EmOn the wDings of the Gnight
EmNo more Dturning Gaway
From the Cweak and theEm weary
EmNo more Dturning Gaway
From the Ccoldness inside
GJust a world that we Call must Emshare
GIt's not enough just to Emstand and Cstare
GIs it only a dCream that there'llEm be
No more Dturning Gaway?
