Em Em     D D        G G
On the turning away
C C Em Em
From the pale and downtrodden
D D G G
And the words they say
C C
Which we won't understand
Em Em C C G G
Don't accept that what's happening
Em Em G G C C
Is just a case of others' suffering
G G C C Em Em
Or you'll find that you're joining in
D D G G
The turning away


Em Em D D G G
It's a sin that somehow
C C Em Em
Light is changing to shadow
D D G G
And casting its shroud
C C
Over all we have known
Em Em C C G G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em Em G G C C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G G C C Em Em
We could find that we're all alone
D D G G
In the dream of the proud


Em Em D D G G
On the wings of the night
C C Em Em
As the daytime is stirring
D D G G
Where the speechless unite
C C
In a silent accord
G G C C Em Em
Using words you will find are strange
G G Em Em C C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G G C C
Feel the new wind of change
Em Em D D G G
On the wings of the night



Em Em D D G G
No more turning away
C C Em Em
From the weak and the weary
D D G G
No more turning away
C C
From the coldness inside
G G C C Em Em
Just a world that we all must share
G G Em Em C C
It's not enough just to stand and stare
G G C C Em Em
Is it only a dream that there'll be
D D G G
No more turning away?

Powerful song... perhaps more relevant today than when it was written.
