[Intro]
N.C.
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)


[Verse 1]
(Em)   (D)     G
It's a sin that somehow
            C         Em
Light is changing to shadow
          D    G
And casting its shroud
      C
Over all we have known
Em              C          G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em             G        C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G                        C   Em
We could find that we're all alone
       D            G
In the dream of the proud


[Verse 2]
Em     D            G
On the wings of the night
       C          Em
As the daytime is stirring
          D         G
Where the speechless unite
     C
In a silent accord
Em                    C         G
Using words you will find are strange
Em                     G         C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G                    C
Feel the new wind of change
Em      D           G
On the wings of the night


[Instrumental]

Em   D   C
Em   D   Am
C    D   Am
C    D   Em


[Verse 3]
Em      D       G
No more turning away
         C           Em
From the weak and the weary
Em      D       G
No more turning away
         C
From the coldness inside
Em                    C        G
Just a world that we all must share
Em                       G        C
It's not enough just to stand and stare
G             C                 Em
Is it only a dream that there'll be
        D       G
No more turning away?
