Mother doesn't know where love has gone I see a little face that's turned to ice And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade Father made my history He taught me what to say in school And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade Born on different sides of life But we feel the same and feel all of this strife And now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade Oh, turn around and I'll be there Oh, I thought we were the human race but we were just another borderline case Oh, I don't know where love has gone Friday's child is full of soul And now I know what they're saying It's a terrible beauty we've made And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves
