[Verse 1]
                G
On the turning away
         C            Em
From the pale and downtrodden
        D          G
And the words they say
         C               Em
Which we won't understand
         C                G        Em
"Don't accept that what's happening
          G                C       G
Is just a case of others' suffering
          C                Em      D/F#
Or you'll find that you're joining in
    G
The turning away

[Verse 2]
                    G
It's a sin that somehow
         C           Em
Light is changing to shadow
    D            G
And casting it's shroud
     C                Em
Over all we have known
                C          G    Em
Unaware how the ranks have grown
               G        C    G
Driven on by a heart of stone
                         C    Em
We could find that we're all alone
       D/F#         G
In the dream of the proud


[Verse 3]
                    G
On the wings of the night
       C          Em
As the daytime is stirring
      D           G
Where speechless unite
     C            Em
In a silent accord
                     G               Em
Using words you will find are strange
                       G        C     G
And mesmerised as they light the flame
                     C     Em
Feel the new wind of change
       D/F#         G
On the wings of the night

[Verse 4]
                 G
No more turning away
         C            Em
From the weak and the weary
        D        G
No more turning away
         C              Em
From the coldness inside
                     C        G
Just a world that we all must share
Em                      G         C    G
It's not enough just to stand and stare
             C                   Em
Is it only a dream that there'll be
        D/F#     G
no more turning away?
