John Holt — Trade Wind

[Verse 1] Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me, what to do I see Unhappy faces, behind a fine smile Heartache and loneliness, dressed up in modern style Unhappy people, living in sin and shame Reflections of myself, life is no easy game [Bridge] And we're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of all time Time... [Verse 2] Here I stand looking, looking around me While all around me, what to do I see Young girls who soon become, streetwalkers in the night Young boys a restless breed, looking for a fight Children both rich and poor They're searching for the truth And if they don't find it God help tomorrows youth [Bridge] [Verse 3] Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me While all around me, what to do, I see Hatred and jealousy, brotherhood is dying Love is the answer, but nobody is buying Good people are turning back, some don't but they are few Winds are blowing... and the choice is up to you We're caught in the trade winds The trade winds of all time Time...
