Rich man and poor beggar and thiefSearching in the darkness for a light to show the wayEach seeking his identityProtect me from my brother, please, they prayAfraid and so alarmedTell me where have all the loving people gone?They're lying here with you and meBuried in the shadows of societyYoung mother's face is filled with shameIt's not enough to give her baby life, they sayEach child must have a proper nameOr never be allowed to see the light of dayWrong, right or wrongTell me where has understanding gone?Where have all the loving people gone?Where has understanding gone?Here they are, here they are with you and meBuried in the shadows of societyWhen someone said let there be lightWhat good is light if we've forgotten how to see?It's gone, the light is goneWhere is the light of love to lead us home?Lead us homeAs I rush through the shadows, seeking meMay the torch of love light my wayWhere have all the loving people gone?Where has understanding gone?When someone said let there be lightWhat good is light if we've forgotten how to see?It's gone, the light is goneWhere is the light of love to lead us home?Lead us homeAs I rush through the shadows, seeking meMay the torch of love light my way
