Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love
Verse 1:
Where is the love
You said you'd give to me, soon as you were free, will it ever be
Where is the love?
Chorus 1:
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie?
Verse 2:
Where is the love
You said was mine all mine, till the end of time, was it just a lie
Where is the love?
Chorus 2:
If you had had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you had told me so
Don't leave me hangin' on to promises
You've got to let me know
Bridge:
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oooh
Oh how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait
That's all I can do (that's all I can do)
My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
You promised me love
You promised me love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where
Where is the love (repeat to fade)
The song Where Is the Love by Mica Paris feat. Will Downing is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks of the desolation and disappointment one feels when they have been let down by someone they love. The lyrics are filled with longing and sadness as the singer tries to unravel the mysteries of their relationship. The chorus serves as a questioning reminder of the promises made by the beloved, who seems to have vanished without a trace. In the first verse, the singer demands to know when they will receive the love promised to them once their partner is "free." There is an air of skepticism and disbelief in the question, giving the impression that the singer has been waiting for too long. The second verse is a plea for honesty, with the singer asking if their love was always a lie. The disappointment is tangible, and the singer cannot understand why their heart was toyed with. The bridge provides a moment for the singer to reflect on their fate while acknowledging their love for the absent partner. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the need to know where the love has gone.
