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 said you'd give to me
cs soon as you were free
Will it ever be?
Where is the love?
You told me that you didn't love him
cnd you were gonna say, goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie?
Where is the love?
You said, was mine, all mine
'Til the end of time
Was it just a lie?
Where is the love?
If you had, had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hangin' on the promises
You've got to let me know
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
cll I can do is wait
That's all I can do, yeah, yeah
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?)
Where is the love? (Where is the love?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mike and Brenda Sutton's "Where Is The Love" express an introspective journey of self-discovery and self-reflection. The singer questions why their companion has joined them in this place, indicating that this is not an environment for their specific intentions. Nevertheless, they choose to sit with their thoughts, smoke, and listen to others' stories and dreams. The singer examines their own feelings of depression, questioning themselves about how they can feel better.


The singer engages in overthinking, assessing what they have lost and asking for forgiveness. They feel the pressure to improve and be better but come to realize that weed helps decrease those pressures, and that writing letters to their love interest soothes and comforts them. The lyricist acknowledges that they can be lost in their fantasies, even if they do not want to be, hence the reference to a dark comedy directed by themselves.


In the end, the singer emphasizes that they have found their mind and will continue to take control of their life. The song reflects on the struggle to balance the expectation of growth while addressing the confusion that accompanies that journey.
