Where is the love 2016 ft The World
People killing, people dying
Children hurt and I hear them crying
Can you [1] _ what you preaching
Would you turn the other cheek again
Mama, mama, mama tell us what the hell is going on
Can’t we all just get [2] _
Father, father, father help us
Send some [3] __ from above
These people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love
Yo, what’s going on with the world mama
People livin’ like they ain’t got no mama
I think they are all [4] _ by the drama and attracted to the [5] _ mama
I think they don’t understand the concept or the meaning of [6] __
Where is the love
Overseas, yeah, they’re tryin’ to stop terrorism
Over here on the streets the police shoot the people put the [7] _ in ’em
But if you only got love for your own [8] _
Then you are going to leave space for others to [9] __
Where is the love
And to [10] _ only [11] _ hate
And when you hate then you’re [12] _ to get irate
Madness is what you [13] _
And that’s exactly how hate works and [14] _
Man, we got to set it [15] _
Take control of your mind just meditate
And let your soul just [16] __ to the love and let the whole world celebrate
People killing, people dying
Children hurt and I hear them crying
Can you practice what you’re preaching
Would you turn the other cheek again
Mama, mama, mama tell us what the hell is going on
Can’t we all just get [2] _
Father father father help us
Send some [3] _ from above
Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love
It just ain’t the same, Always a change
New days are strange, Is just the world insane
Nations dropping [17] _, killing our little ones
Ongoing suffering as the [18] _ die young
Where is the love when a child gets murdered or a cop gets [19] _ down
Black lives not now everybody matters to me
All races. It’s your life, you know what I’m saying
Hate the really tall cases [?].
Everybody hates somebody.
Guess we all raised as black eyed peas doing a song all about love and you all hate this.
All these protests with different [19] _ faces
We was all born with a heart why we gotta chase it
And every time I look around
Every time I look up, every time I look down,
No one is on the [20] __
And if you never speak truth then you never know what love sounds
And if you never know love then you never know God
Where is the love, y’all, I don’t, I don’t know
Where’s the truth y’all?
People killing, people dying
Children hurt and hear them crying
Could you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek
Father, father, father help us
Send some [3] __ from above
Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love
Where is the love
Love is the key
Love is the answer
Love is the solution
They don’t want us to love
Love is powerful
My mama asked me why I never vote
Cause policemen want me dead and gone
That election looking like a joke
and the wee man is still selling dope
Somebody’s gotta get these [21] _ hope
All he ever wanted was a smoke
Said he can’t breathe with his hands in the air
Lying on the ground dying from a [22] _
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I’m getting’ older, Y’all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin’
[23] _ got us following in the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the [24] _
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than [25] __
Kids want to act like what they see in the [26] _
Whatever happened to love and the [27] _ of humanity
Whatever happened to the love and the fairness and [28] _
Instead of spreading love we are spreading [29 ] _
Lack of understanding leading us away from [30] __
Where is the love?
