(J. GogaW. FieldsI. 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
