Letra de
On the turning away

A música On the Turning Away do Pink Floyd aborda temas de apatia e inércia em face dos problemas sociais e humanitários. Foi inspirada por ver pessoas deslocadas e em dificuldades na televisão, levando a uma reflexão sobre a responsabilidade social e a importância de não se afastar dos que estão em necessidade.

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its 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 mesmerized 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?
