Shadows of Society lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Refrain]
Where have all the loving people gone?
Where has understanding gone? Yeah
Here they are, here they are with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society

[Chorus]
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?
[Post-Chorus]
As I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love light my way

[Refrain]
Where have all the loving people gone?
Where has understanding gone? Yeah

[Chorus]
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?

[Post-Chorus]
As I rush through the shadows seeking me
May the torch of love light my way
