Where is the Love
Justin Timberlake feat. The Black Eyed Peas Lyrics

What's wrong with the world, mama
There are things happening in the world that are not right.

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
People are not behaving in a manner that is expected from a person who has a mother.

I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
People tend to be attracted to things that create chaos and confusion.

Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma
People tend to be attracted to things that cause an emotional disturbance or a sense of discomfort.

Overseas, yeah, we tryin' to stop terrorism
People are trying to prevent the acts of terrorism that are happening overseas.

But we still got terrorists here livin'
There are still people who conduct terrorist activities within the USA.

In the USA, the big CIA
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a powerful organization located in the USA.

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
These are names of organizations within the USA that are known for their violent and racist activities.

But if you only have love for your own race
If you only show love and compassion to people who belong to your race or culture.

Then you only leave space to discriminate
Then you are creating a gap for discrimination to exist.

And to discriminate only generates hate
Discrimination always leads to hate and animosity between people.

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
When you harbor hate and resentment for other people, it affects your mental state and causes you to be agitated.

Madness is what you demonstrate
When you exhibit crazy or irrational behavior, you are demonstrating madness.

And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Anger functions and operates in a way that causes craziness and irrational behavior.

Man, you gotta have love, this'll set us straight
Having love and compassion for one another will help us to live better lives and make the world a better place.

Take control of your mind and meditate
By practicing meditation, you can take control of your thoughts and gain a sense of inner peace.

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
Allow your inner being to be drawn towards love, kindness, and compassion for others.

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
When children are injured or hurt, you can hear them crying in pain and sadness.

Can you practice what you preach?
Do you practice what you preach to others or do you say one thing and do another?

And would you turn the other cheek?
If someone wrongs you, would you forgive them and move on or retaliate and seek revenge?

Nations droppin' bombs
Countries are using bombs and other weapons to fight wars and exert power over others.

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
Children are being exposed to toxic gases that are harmful to their health.

With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
As young people continue to die, the suffering continues and the world becomes a worse place.

The truth is kept secret, and swept under the rug
People in power often keep certain truths hidden from the public eye and fail to acknowledge them.

If you never know truth then you never know love
Without having knowledge of the truth, it becomes impossible to truly know and experience love.

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That is the reason why at times I feel overwhelmed or undervalued.

Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
I must stay positive and hopeful until I find love and compassion in the world.

Where is the love?
Where has all the love, kindness and compassion gone?

Father, Father, Father help us
A plea to a higher authority to provide us with guidance and assistance.

Send some guidance from above
A request for help and assistance from a divine power.

Sing with me y'all
Join me in song and come together in unity.

One world, one world (we only got)
We only have one world to live in and take care of.

One world, one world (that's all we got)
This is the only world we have, and it is important that we take care of it.

And something's wrong with it (yeah)
There are things in the world that are not right and need to be addressed.

Something's wrong with it (yeah)
Something is not right with the world.

Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
Something is not right with the world.

Where is the love?
Where has all the love, kindness and compassion gone?
