Where Is The Love
Gentleman Lyrics

All a the sins that we have paid for
We have been punished for all of our wrongdoings

Tell me where is the sense in the things we have done
What is the meaning behind our actions?

Is this everything we made for
Is this really the purpose of our existence?

Me see mother against daughter and father against son
I observe familial conflict and a lack of unity

There is no life where is the hope in this ya duppy town
There is a sense of hopelessness and despair in this city

Concrete jungle when the night come pier gun clown
The city is filled with danger and violence at night

Children too quiet no me can't hear a sound
The silence of the children is unsettling

Pier dutty needles all over the playground
The playground is littered with used needles

Dem try fi say if we nuh partake we ago down
They suggest that we must participate or we will fail

Leaving no alternatives, you leaving people with a frown
By offering no other options, you leave people unhappy

Dem a gwaan like the world it nuh round
They act as if the truth is not evident

Dem a gwaan like a fi dem compound
They act as if they are the only ones who matter

Where is the brotherly love
Where is the love between brothers?

Now can we try to find some find some ways now
Can we actively look for solutions?

To get we out the mud
To extricate ourselves from this difficult situation

Because we tired and enough is enough
We are exhausted and can't take it anymore

Your system sick and the people need a bypass
The current system is problematic and needs fixing

You like a flag inna the wind you change your side fast
You are indecisive and keep switching allegiances quickly

The river rough but you know you got to try cross
The journey may be difficult, but you have to try to cross the river

While dem inna helicopter fly pass
While others fly by in a helicopter, we struggle on the ground

There is a never ending nightmare in paradise
Even in an idyllic setting, there are still problems

Anybody out there please can I hear a voice
Can anyone out there speak up and be heard?

Anybody out there realize
Does anyone out there understand?

Anybody out willing to rise
Is anyone ready to take action?

You try fi tell we say the world ago end
You try to say that the world is ending

You try fi tell we seh we vision condemn
You try to say that our way of thinking is wrong

You nuh see seh that we still around still around
Don't you see that we are still here?

Still around and utter sound
We are still speaking up

We can make it happen 'cause a we a make the world go round
We can make change because we are the ones who move the world forward

You try fi tell we seh we have to repent
You try to say that we must ask for forgiveness

You try to say believe the message you send
You try to get us to believe your message

But tribulation still around still around
But there is still hardship and difficulty

Still around we utter sound
We are still speaking up

We can make it happen 'cause
We have the ability to make change

Tell me what is it you paid for
What have you sacrificed for?

Tell me where is the sense in the things we have done
What is the purpose behind our actions?

Is this everything we made for
Is this all that we were meant to do?

Me see mother against daughter and father against son
I see familial conflict and a lack of unity

Where is the sisterly love
Where is the love between sisters?
