Shadows Of Society — The Supremes

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
