| Here I stand looking
|
| Looking all around me
|
| While all around me (What do I see?)
|
| What do I see?
|
| Unhappy faces behind the painted smile
|
| Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style
|
| Unhappy people living in sin and shame
|
| Reflections of myself, life is no easy game
|
| We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)
|
| The trade winds of our time
|
| Here I stand looking
|
| Looking all around me
|
| While all around me (What do I see?)
|
| What do I see?
|
| (Young girls who would soon become) Young girls would soon become
|
| (Walkers of anatomy) Streetwalkers in the night
|
| (Young boys of the neighborhood) Young boys, the restless breed
|
| (Tell me what they’re gonna do) And they’re looking for a fight
|
| (Children who both rich and poor) Children both rich and poor
|
| (Tell me what they’re searching for) They’re searching for the truth
|
| Ad if they don’t find it, God help tomorrow’s youth
|
| We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)
|
| Ooh, the trade winds of our time
|
| The trade winds are blowing
|
| Blowing all around me
|
| While all around me (What do I see?)
|
| What do I see?
|
| (Hatredness and jealousy)
|
| Hatred and jealousy, brotherhood is dying
|
| (Love is what we really need)
|
| Love is the answer, but nobody’s buying
|
| Good people turning bad
|
| Some don’t, but there are few
|
| The trade winds are blowing, the choice is up to you
|
| We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)
|
| Ooh, the trade winds of our time, ooh yes
|
| Yes, we’re caught up in the trade winds
|
| Ooh, trade winds of our time, oh yeah
|
| We’re caught up, we’re caught up in the trade winds
|
| Yeah, yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah-eah-eah-eah
|
| Ohhhh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
|
| We’re caught up in the trade winds, trade winds
|
| Trade winds of our time
|
| We’re caught up, we’re caught up in the trade winds |
