The Supremes - Shadows Of Society lyrics

rate me

(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
