Rich man and poor, beggar and thief
Searching in the darkness
For a light to show the way
Each seeking his identityProtect me from my brother please
They pray
Afraid and so alone
Tell me where have all the loving people goneThey're lying here with you and me
Buried in the shadows of societyYoung 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 dayWrong, right or wrong
Tell me where has understanding goneWhere have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding gone
Here they are with you and me
Buried in the shadows of societyOnce someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to seeIt's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us onAs I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Light my wayWhere have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding goneOnce someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to seeIt's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us onAs I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Light my way
