People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtun' 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
'Cuz people got me got me questionin
'Where is the love (where is the love)
What's wrong with the world mama
People livin' like ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring ya trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists hea livin' in the USA
The big CIA, the Blood to the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for ya own race
Then ya only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when ya hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what ya demonstrate
and that's exactly how ANGER works and Operates
Nig, 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
Chorus:People killin' people dyin'
Children hurt, ain't even cryin'
Would you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
FATHER FATHER FATHER help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cuz people got me got me questionin
'Where is the love (where is the love)
Where is the love
Where is the love,
the love, the love
It just ain't the same,
always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are these pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the 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 undercova
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
Repeat Chrous
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting olda, y'all people gets colda
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own 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 in equality
Instead of spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives 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
Repeat Chorus til fade
It's quite amazing how i got to know this song through a GP lecture, the lecturer played it for us during our lecture on Prejudice and Discrimination. Well, I think it's a great song, the lyrics are very meaningful and i love the tune and the beat. Black Eye Peas happens to be the winner of the Asian MTV awards as well~ I don't know about their other songs, but think this is good enough. ;P
