People killin’
People dyin’
Children hurtin’
I hear them cryin’
Can you practice
what you preachin’?
Would you turn the
other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama
tell us what the hell
is goin’ on
Can't we all
just get along?
Father, Father, Father
help us send some
guidance from above
'cause people got me
got me questioning
(Where is the love?)
Yo what’s going on
with the world momma?
(Where is the love?)
Yo people living like
they ain’t got no mommas
(Where is the love?)
I think they all distracted
by the drama and attracted
to the trauma, mama
(Where is the love?)
I think they don’t
understand the concept
or the meaning of karma
(Where is the love?)
Overseas yeah
they're tryna
stop terrorism
(Where is the love?)
Over here on the streets
the police shoot the
people put the
bullets in 'em
(Where is the love?)
But if you only got love
for your own race
(Where is the love?)
Then you’re gonna leave
space for others
to discriminate
(Where is the love?)
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
hate works and operates
Man we gotta
set it straight
take control
of your mind
just meditate
And let your soul just
gravitate to the love
so the whole world
celebrate it

Father, Father, Father
help us send some

'cause people got me
got me questioning
(Where is the love?)
It just ain’t the same
always in change
(Where is the love?)
New days are strange
is the world insane?
(Where is the love?)
Nation droppin’ bombs
killing our little ones
(Where is the love?)
Ongoing suffering
as the youth die young
(Where is the love?)
Where is the love when
a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked
down black lives not now
everybody matter to me
All races, y’all don’t like
what I’m sayin’?
Haterade, tall cases
everybody hate somebody
Guess we all racist
Black Eyed Peas
do a song about love
and y’all hate this
All these protests with
different coloured faces
we was all born
with a heart
why we gotta chase it?
And every time
I look around
every time I look up
every time I look down
no-one’s on the
common ground
(Where is the love?)
And if you never
speak truth then you never
know how love sounds
(Where’s the love?)
And if you never
know love
then you never
know God
Wow
(Where is the love?)
Where’s the love y’all?
I don’t, I don’t know
Where’s the truth y’all?
I don’t know
People killin’

Father, Father, Father
help us send some
guidance from above
'cause people got me
got me questioning
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
Love is the key
(Where is the love?)
Love is the answer
(Where is the love?)
Love is the solution
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
They don’t want us to love
(Where is the love?)
Love is powerful
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
My mama asked me
why I never vote
'cause police men
want me dead and gone
dead and gone
That election looking
like a joke such a joke
and the w**d man
still sellin’ d**e
Somebody gotta give
these n***as hope
give us hope
all he ever wanted was
a smoke oh my gosh
Said he can’t breathe
with his hands in the air
layin’ on the ground
died from a choke
(Where is the love?)
I feel the weight
of the world
on my shoulders
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 cinemas
What happened to
the love and the values
of humanity?
(Where is the love?)
What happened to
the love and the
fairness and equality?
(Where is the love?)
Instead of spreading love
we’re spreading animosity
(Where is the love?)
Lack of understanding
leading us away
from unity
(Where's the love?)
