On the turning
away

1. On the turning away, from
the pale and downtrodden,
D G C
and the words they say which we won’t
understand.
Em C
G
Don’t accept that what’s
happening,
Em G
C
it’s
just a case of all the suffering,
G C Em D G
or you’ll find
that you’re joining in the turning away.

2. It’s a sin that somehow
light is changing to shadow,
D G C
and
casting its shroud 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 D G
we
could find that we’re all alone in the dream of the proud.
Em D G C

3. On the wings of the night as the daytime is
stirring,
D G C
where the
speechless unite in a silent accord.
Em C G
Using words you will find are strange
Em G C
mesmerised
as they light the flame,
G
C Em D G
feel
the new wind of change on the wings oft the night.

4. No more turning away from the weak and the weary,
D G C
no more turning away 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 D
G
is it only a dream that there’ll be
no more turning away.
