Testo Trade Winds - Roberta Flack
Testo della canzone Trade Winds (Roberta Flack), tratta dall'album The Very Best of Roberta Flack
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
And 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)
Young girls who'll soon become (walkers of the avenue)
Streetwalkers in the night (young boys of the neighborhood)
Young boys, the restless breed (tell me what they're gonna be)
Looking for a fight (children who are rich and poor)
Children both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
And if they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
(The trade winds of our time)
Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me
While all around me what do I see (hatred and jealousy)
Hatred and jealousy (brotherhood is dying)
Brotherhood and dying (love is what they really want)
Love is the answer
Nobody's buying (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
Ahhh-ahh-ahhh
Ah-ha-ah-ha
Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds (yes, we're caught up in the trade winds)
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds (we are riding on the trade winds)
The trade winds of our time
We're caught up
Caught up in the trade winds, the trade winds of our time
We are riding
Riding on the trade winds, trade winds of our time
Yes, we're caught up
Caught up in the trade winds, the trade winds of our time
And we're riding
Riding on the trade winds, trade winds of our time
We are riding, yes, we're riding
Trade wings of our time
We're caught up
Caught up in the trade winds, trade winds of our time
We are riding
We're riding on the trade winds, trade winds of our time
And we're caught up
In the trade winds, the trade winds of our time
We are riding
Riding on the trade winds, the trade winds of our time
