TRANSCRIPT

Hey, ho!

Hey, ho!

Hey, ho!

What's wrong with the world, momma? People living like they ain't got no mommas I think they all addicted to the drama and only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma Overseas, yeah we trying to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists there 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 Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how hate works and operates Man, we gotta have love just to set it straight. Take control of your mind and just meditate And let your soul just gravitate to the love People killin' people dyin' Children hurtin', I hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach?

Would you turn the other cheek again?

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?

Where is the love, the love, the love?

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 there pieces of love that don't belong?nations droppin' bombs Chemical gases killin all our little ones, Ongoing suffering as the youth die young So ask yourself Is the love all really gone?

So I can ask myself - really what is going wrong in this world that we're living 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, and swept under the rug. If you never know truth, then 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?

People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear 'em cryin' Will you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, father, father, help us Send some guidance from above These people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love?

Where's the love y'all? Where is the love? Where is the love, the love, the love?

Where's the love y'all? Where is the love? Where is the love, the love, the love?

Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love, the love, the love?

Clap your hands like this. Clap your hands.

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 values of humanity?

What happened to the fairness and equality?

Yeah!

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity Yeah!

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 It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found People killin' people dyin' Children hurtin', I hear them cryin' Could you practice what you preach?

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questioning Where is the love?

Where's the love y'all?

Where is the love?

Where's the love now?

Where is the love, the love, the love?

Turn the lights off in the house.

If you gotta phone, put it up in the air.

Put your lights, put your lighters in the air.

Put it up, put it up.

Let's light up the house tonight.

If you're, if you're, if you're feeling all right.
