Where Is The Love

Where Is The Love

"Where is The love" is a fantastic song by the Black Eyed Pees. The lyrics are so powerful I get choked up every time I read them or listen to the song. I almost never list song lyrics without editing them. However, The Black Eyed Pees have created a message that should not be tampered with. I realize this song may bring negative emotions to some of us, but, the truth is the truth. We have to learn to deal with it and do everything in our power to change it.

The Black Eyed Pees create songs to make the world better. They care. Sooo, please, pretty please, go online immediately and get this song and the rest of all their albums.  

What's wrong with the world, mama

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas

I think the whole world addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

 

Overseas, yeah, we try 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 you're bound to get irate, yeah

Badness 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, y'all

 

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 us some guidance from above

                                

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

             

Where is the love (Love)

                     

Where is the love (The love)

                     

Where is the love (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 there 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 undercover

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

 

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 us some guidance from above

                                

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

             

Where is the love (Love)

                     

Where is the love (The love)

                     

Where is 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' 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 act like what they see in the cinema

 

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead in 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 till love is found

 

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 us some guidance from above

                                

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

             

Where is the love (Love)

                     

Where is the love (The love)

                     

Where is the love (The love)

             

Where is the love 

The love, the love

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

 

 

 

Ask yourself "where is the love."  If it's not inside you, do something about it NOW! Tomorrow is too late. If it's not coming from your job, friends, kids, family, spouse, relationship or the people you meet every day, take the steps immediately to change it.

 

We need all the love we can get. I need every one of you to ask "where is the love" and make every attempt to find it. If you find it, pass it on to everyone who will accept your love. We need the world to change. We need the world to become more loving and less hating.

 

We need everyone in the world asking "Where Is The Love." Where can I find it. How can I get it and how can I share it.
