Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mothers and Fathers
Sisters and Brothers
We shed blood like it's water
We think less of one another
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love...
Is this real love! Na Na Na ooh
Is this real love
Is this real love! Na Na Na ooh
Where is the love
Where is the love! Na Na Na ooh
Where is the love
Where is the love! Na Na Na ooh
We get up everyday we fight our brothers
We get up everyday we fight our sisters
People are dying like it's nothing
Where is the humanity... seriously...
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love…
Let us come together as one
Let us build our nation as one
Children live what they have been told
These are some serious times
These are some serious times...
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love...
Let us reunite as one...
Let us compromise with each one
Don't you judge a book by it's cover
These are some serious times
These are some serious times...
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love oh Na Na Na
Where is the love...
