On The Turning Away

[Intro]
G
On the turning away

[Verse 1]
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
"Don’t accepting that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away"
G         D            G
 It’s a sin that somehow

[Verse 2]
         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
Em     D            G
On the wings of the night

[Verse 3]
       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
  Mesmerized as they light the flame
G                     C     Em
 Feel the new wind of change
       D            G    D
On the wings of the night

        D        G
No more turning away

[Verse 4]
         C            Em
From the weak and the weary
        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   D
No more turning away?
