Trade Winds - The Three Degrees

Here I stand looking

Looking all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

What do I see?

Unhappy faces behind the 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

We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)

The trade winds of our time

Here I stand looking

Looking all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

What do I see?

(Young girls who would soon become) Young girls would soon become

(Walkers of anatomy) Streetwalkers in the night

(Young boys of the neighborhood) Young boys, the restless breed

(Tell me what they’re gonna do) And they’re looking for a fight

(Children who both rich and poor) Children both rich and poor

(Tell me what they’re searching for) They’re searching for the truth

Ad if they don’t find it, God help tomorrow’s youth

We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)

Ooh, the trade winds of our time

The trade winds are blowing

Blowing all around me

While all around me (What do I see?)

What do I see?

(Hatredness and jealousy)

Hatred and jealousy, brotherhood is dying

(Love is what we really need)

Love is the answer, but nobody’s buying

Good people turning bad

Some don’t, but there are few

The trade winds are blowing, the choice is up to you

We’re caught in the trade winds (trade winds)

Ooh, the trade winds of our time, ooh yes

Yes, we’re caught up in the trade winds

Ooh, trade winds of our time, oh yeah

We’re caught up, we’re caught up in the trade winds

Yeah, yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Ohhhh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We’re caught up in the trade winds, trade winds

Trade winds of our time

We’re caught up, we’re caught up in the trade winds
