Where is the Love
W h e r e i s t h e L o v e ?
by Black Eyed Peas
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole world’s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz 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 if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
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 hurtin 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?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are 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 strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can 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?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get 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 their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
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 feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin 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?(fade)

Where Is the Love?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Black Eyed Peas single
"Where Is The Love?" is the first single from The Black Eyed Peas' third album, Elephunk. Released[1] in 2003, the single (which features an uncredited vocal from Justin Timberlake) peaked at #8 in the USA becoming The Black Eyed Peas' 1st Top 10 hit; the single also peaked at #1 in the UK. The single is most known as the breakthrough[2] single of The Black Eyed Peas. Prior to this single The Black Eyed Peas had been very unsuccessful[3] commercially, and were about to dissolve professionally; with the release of this single, The Black Eyed Peas were able to become international icons and to obtain their biggest worldwide hit.
Song information
In this anti-war pacifist anthem[4], The Black Eyed Peas lament on various worldwide problems. Many issues are discussed, which include but are not limited to terrorism, U.S. government hypocrisy, racism, war and greed[5]. Disturbed by these problems, The Peas call on assistance from Timberlake who pleads (presumably to God), "Father, Father, Father help us, send some guidance from above...'cause people got me got me questioning...Where is the love?". Some view this song as an anthem against the 2003 invasion of Iraq since it was released shortly[6] after the invasion began.
(…)
Although "Shut Up" had originally been planned as the album's first single, there was consensus among The Peas and Fair that "Where Is The Love?" was a stronger first single, and "Shut Up" was delayed as the next single.
