Where Is The Love

There's been too much of violence going around the world practically every day. Even Malaysia is not safe. Rape cases (to the extent of raping one's own young grandchild), killing (regardless of age of killer and victim), suicide bombings in Indonesia, bombing of the U.N. HQ in Baghdad, and now, suicide bomber in Jerusalem.

It's been so depressing reading the newspapers. What happened to world peace? What happened to "love one another as you love yourself"? Is there nothing that we can do to make everyone united, to make this world a loving and caring place to live in? Life is like, God's greatest gift, so why are people taking God's gift for granted? What do they get for destroying and toying with other people's lives? If war is being used as an excuse and is a sure way to "get rid of the most dangerous living person in the world", then why is it getting worse now? Why are the people still living in fear? Why are there still so many lives being taken away?

When will all these end?

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 a nigga works and operates
Nigga, 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
Coz 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
Coz 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' our own 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 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 to lovers bound

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
Coz 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), where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love), where is the love (The love).
