I have choosen the song "Blackness Of The Night" by Cat Stevens and I think it deals with lonliness. Can this be slightly classfied as a humans right or social justice song? If so would I say it is slightly "humans right or social justice song" because it is a feeling that effects alot of us and some can be prevented. Such as the times in war etc. Also does anyone know or can provide sources for me about Cat Stevens opinion on the issue? Here the lyrics if you have not heard the song:
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by
from the heels of an old soldier boy.
There's no comprimising
and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die.
He's alone and there is no one by his side
In the blackness of the nigh

I see a sparkle of a star
from the sweet silver tear of a child
and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy she was too young to know
she's alone and there is no one by her side
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone, and there is no one by my side
