Randy Crawford - Trade Winds lyrics

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 livin' 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 And if they don't find it God help tomorrows 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, what do I see? Hatred and jealousy Brotherhood is dying Love is the answer But nobody's buying Good people turnin' 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, yeah, yeah Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds The trade winds of our time We are ridin' on the trade winds The trade winds of our time Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds The trade winds of our time
