Where Is the Love? (iTunes Originals Version)

Yeah

Hoo, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, uh, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Yeah, check it out, y'all

What's wrong with the world, mama?

People livin' like they ain't got no mama

I think the whole world's addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma

Overseas, yeah, we tryna 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 got 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, yeah

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

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Would you practice what you preach?

And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me got me questionin'

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 is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs

Chemical gases fillin' lungs of little ones

With ongoing sufferin' as the youth die young

So, ask yourself is the lovin' really gone?

So, I can ask myself, really what has gone wrong?

In this world that we livin' in, people keep on givin' in

Make wrong decisions, only think about them dividends

Not respecting each other, you deny thy brother

A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, swept under the rug

And if you never know truth, 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 killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Could you practice what you preach?

Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love?

The love, the love

Where is the love, the love, the love?

The love, the love

Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

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 that bacteria

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas

Yo, 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

Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Would you practice what you preach?

Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me got me questionin'

Where is the love?

The love, the love

Where is the love, the love, the love?

The love, the love

Where is the love, the love, the love?

(I don't know)
