Here I stand looking
Looking around me
While all around me
What do I see
Unhappy faces
Behind a 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
The trade winds of our time
Here I stand looking
Looking around me
While all around me
What do I see
Young girls who'll soon become
Streetwalkers in the night
Young boys, the restless breed
Looking for a fight
Children both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
If they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
Oh yes, we're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Trade winds are blowing
Blowing around me
While all around me
hat do I see
Hatred and jealousy
Brotherhood is dying
Love is the answer
But nobody's buying
Good people turning bad
Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to you
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Yeah, yeah
Yes we're caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade.......
