Where Is the Love?

What's wrong with the world mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA the big CIA
The bloods and the crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all y'all
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love
Love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love the love the love
It just ain't the same old ways have changed
New days are strange is the world insane
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gases fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love y'all come on
I don't know
Where's the truth y'all come on
I don't know
Where's the love y'all
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love
Love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love the love the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money-makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo' whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
Father Father Father help us

'Cause people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love
Love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love
The love
Where is the love
The love
