The Supremes - Shadows Of Society lyrics

(j. goga/w. fields/i. hunter) Rich man and poor, beggar and thief Searching in the darkness For a light to show the way Each seeking his identity Protect me from my brother please They pray Afraid and so alone Tell me where have all the loving people gone They're lying here with you and me Buried in the shadows of society Young mothers' faces filled with shame It's not enough to give her baby life, they say Each child must have a proper name Or they'll never be allowed to see the light of day Wrong, right or wrong Tell me where has understanding gone Where have all the loving people gone Where has understanding gone Here they are with you and me Buried in the shadows of society Once someone said 'let there be light' What good is light If we've forgotten how to see It's gone The light is gone Where is the light of love To lead us on As i rush through the shadows Seeking me May the torch of love Light my way Where have all the loving people gone Where has understanding gone Once someone said 'let there be light' What good is light If we've forgotten how to see It's gone The light is gone Where is the light of love To lead us on As i rush through the shadows Seeking me May the torch of love Light my way
