Music: R Macdonald
Here I stand looking
Looking around me
While all around me
What do I see
Unhappy people
Behind a painted smiles
Heartache and loneliness
Dressed up in modern styles
Unhappy people
Living in sin and shame
Reflections of my life
Life is no easy game
Lord we're caught up in the trade winds
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 of the night
Young boys the restless breed
Searching for a fight
Children both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
And if they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
Lord we're caught up in the trade winds
Trade winds of our time
Here I stand looking
Looking around me
While all around me
What do I see
Hatred and jealousy
Brotherhood is dying
Love is the answer
Nobody's buying
Good people going bad
Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to you
Lord we're caught up in the trade winds
Trade winds of our time
While we're caught up
Caught up in the trade winds yeah
Trade winds of our time
I say we are riding Lord
Riding on the trade winds yeah
Trade winds of our time
You hear me talking to you
I say we're caught up now
Caught up in the trade winds Lord
Trade winds of our time
Well
I say we're caught up
Caught up in the trade winds yeah
Trade winds of our time
