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 alarmed
Tell me where have all the loving people gone?
They're lying here with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society
Young mother's face is filled with shame
It's not enough to give her baby life, they say
Each child must have a proper name
Or 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, here they are with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society
When 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 home?
Lead us home
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?
When 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 home?
Lead us home
As I rush through the shadows, seeking me
May the torch of love light my way
