Where is the love?

I don't remember how, when, or why it came to me, but the song "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas came to mind like yesterday or the day before. I couldn't stop thinking about it and the lyrics. But I wanted to know exactly what the lyrics were; because well, you know, how sometimes you think a song is saying one thing, and there is meaning for you in the words you think they are singing, and then you look up the words and they're like completely different and then your understanding of the song is destroyed? Yeah, well I wanted to make sure I was getting the message right here. So I looked up the lyrics.

What's wrong with the world mama
People livin' like ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring ya trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin' in the USA
The big CIA, the Bloods and the Crypts and the KKK
But if you only have love for ya own race
Then ya only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when ya hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what ya demonstrate
and that's exactly how ANGER works and Operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all, y'all

Chorus:

People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin and ya hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek?
FATHER FATHER FATHER help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cuz people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are these pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in, people keep on givin' in,
Makin' wrong decisions only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, denyin' thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercova'
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love y'all come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all come on (I don't know)
Where's the love y'all

People killin' people dyin'
Children hurt and ya hear them cryin'
practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek?
FATHER FATHER FATHER help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cuz people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love (where is the love)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder (shoulder)
As I'm getting older, y'all people gets colder (colder)
Most of us only care about money makin' (money makin')
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction (direction)
Wrong information always shown by the media (media)
Negative images is the main criteria (criteria)
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria (bacteria)
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas
Yo, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
And ask yourself

People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin and ya hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek?
FATHER FATHER FATHER help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cuz people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love, the love, the love.



Do I need to say more?

So I have a few questions for you. Do you know the Truth? Do you know The Love?
If so, are you answering the question, "Where is the Love?"

Answer it by the way you live your life.



P.S. I remembered the reason behind me thinking of this song in the first place. I wrote it in here, but it got deleted somehow and I don't want to rewrite it...
so if you are really really curious and want to know, I will try and make it up again and tell you.


// Actually, edit in here, I just watched this video clip, and I think it fits perfectly. At around 0:50-1:30; That's the gyst of what I had written that got deleted.
