Supremes - Shadows Of Society lyrics

rate me

(J. Goga/W. Fields/I. Hunter) <br />

<br />

Rich man and poor, beggar and thief<br />

Searching in the darkness<br />

For a light to show the way<br />

Each seeking his identity<br />

<br />

Protect me from my brother please<br />

They pray<br />

Afraid and so alone<br />

Tell me where have all the loving people gone<br />

<br />

They're lying here with you and me<br />

Buried in the shadows of society<br />

<br />

Young mothers' faces filled with shame<br />

It's not enough to give her baby life, they say<br />

Each child must have a proper name<br />

Or they'll never be allowed to see the light of day<br />

<br />

Wrong, right or wrong<br />

Tell me where has understanding gone<br />

<br />

Where have all the loving people gone<br />

Where has understanding gone<br />

Here they are with you and me<br />

Buried in the shadows of society<br />

<br />

Once someone said<br />

'Let there be light'<br />

What good is light<br />

If we've forgotten how to see<br />

<br />

It's gone<br />

The light is gone<br />

Where is the light of love<br />

To lead us on<br />

<br />

As I rush through the shadows<br />

Seeking me<br />

May the torch of love<br />

Light my way<br />

<br />

Where have all the loving people gone<br />

Where has understanding gone<br />

<br />

Once someone said<br />

'Let there be light'<br />

What good is light<br />

If we've forgotten how to see<br />

<br />

It's gone<br />

The light is gone<br />

Where is the light of love<br />

To lead us on<br />

<br />

As I rush through the shadows<br />

Seeking me<br />

May the torch of love<br />

Light my way
