Where is the Love? Songtext

Where is the Love? Songtext
What′s wrong with the world, mama?
People living like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world′s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that will bring trauma
Overseas, yeah, we're tryin' to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here living
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
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
People killing, people dying
Children hurt, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
′Cause people got me, got me, questioning
Where is the love? 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 there pieces of love that don′t belong?
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering, as the youth die young
So, ask yourself, is the loving really gone?
So I can ask myself, really, what's going on?
In this world that we′re living in, people keep on giving in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of 'em dividends
Not respecting each other, deny thy brother
A war is going on, but the reason is undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the hug
If you never know the truth, then you never know love
Where′s the love, y′all? Come on
Where's the truth, y′all? Come on
People killing, people dying
Children hurt, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me, questioning
Where is the love? The love, the love
Where is the love? The love, the love
One love, one love, so, we got one love, one love
People living like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world′s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that will bring trauma
Overseas, yeah, we're tryin' to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here living
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
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
People killing, people dying
Children hurt, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us

Where is the love? The love, the love
Where is the love? The love, the love

Where is the love? The love, the love
One love, one love, so, we got one love, one love
