Shadows Of Society Lyrics - Cream Of The Crop - Diana Ross & 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
