Where is the love?

what's wrong with the world momma
people livin like they ain't got no mommas
i think the whole world's addicted to the drama
only attracted to thinks that a bring the trauma

overseas yeah we're tryin 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 your bound to get irate

yeah, madness is what you diminstrate
and that's exactly how angle works (?) operate
yeah you gotta take control of your mind
and meditate
let your soul gravitate to the love ya'll

(Chorus)
people killin people dyin
children hurt and you hear em cryin
can you practice what you preach
and 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

where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, the love, the love
(End of Chorus)

it just ain't the same
always in change
new days are strange
is the world insane?

if love and peace are so strong
why are the pieces of love that don't belong
nations droppin bombs

chemical gases fillin lungs of little ones
with ongoin suffering as the youth die young
so ask yourself is the lovin really gone
so i can ask my self really what is goin wrong

in this world that we're livin in
people keep on givin in
makin wrong decisions in only visions of them lvin in
not respectin each other
deny thy brother

a war's goin on but the reason's undercover
the truth is kept secret, swept under the rug
if you never know truth then you never know love
where's the love ya'll

i don't know
where's the truth ya'll
i don't know
where's the love ya'll

people killin people dyin
children hurt and you hear them cryin
can you practice what you preach
and 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, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love

i feel the weight of the world over my shoulder
as i'm gettin older, ya'll people gets colder
most of us only care about money making
selfishness got our smile turned in 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 be 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 be spreading...donemosity? (?)
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

now ask yourself

where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love
father father father help us
send some guidance from above
cause people got me got me questionin
where is the love

sing with me ya'll
one world, one world
we only got
one world, one world
that's all we got
one world, one world
somethins wrong with it, somethin's wrong with it, somethin's wrong with the w-w-world

we only got
one world, one world
that's all we got
one world, one world
