On Turning Away

[datalink7]

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away ?

Excellent song my brother

Just listened to it for the first time. Every single Pink Floyd album I listen to, I really like, and then there are specific parts (such as the one I posted) that I REALLY like.

So Far I have listened to:

Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
The Wall
Animals
Momentary Lapse of Reason (just finished)
Division Bell
The Final Cut

What should be my next one?

TheWall again

Speaking of "The Wall," I just went to Paramounts Lazer Light production of it (and it has select songs from other albums such as Wish You Were Here). It was AWSOME. If the show comes near you (it is travling around), I would highly reccomend seeing it.
