1. On the turning a way from the pale and down trodden
And the words they say which we won’t understand
Don’t accept that what’s happe ning
Is just a case of all the suffe ring
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning a way

2. It's a sin that somehow, light is changing to shadow
And casting it’ shroud over all we have know
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we’re all alone
In the dream of the proud

3. On the wings of the night as the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

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