Common people living quietly in confusion   Information's giving quite a grand illusion   Hearts are beating, keeping time to meet a deadline   Faces pressed against the pane to watch a headline      When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call you   We will stand and watch them fall      All our ships are sailing blindly under one sun   Sending signals, calling kindly, reaching no-one   Echoes sound the shifting air of empires calling   Hold my hand, the shifting sand of empires falling      When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call you   We will stand and watch them fall   Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall      We confided, then decided not to follow   All the slogans, taunts and charges, sound so hollow   With open minds across the border, we have waited   But keeping place within this race is complicated      When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call you   We will stand and watch them      When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call   When the winds blow I will call you   We will stand and watch them fall   Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall
