Where Is The Love?

James

What's wrong with the world mamma

People livin' like they ain't got no mammas

I think the worlds addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma

All this see s***

Yeah

We tryin' to stop terroism

But we still got terroists here livin'

In the USA, the big CIA, the Bloods and the Krips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate

Yeah

That's what you demonstrate

And that's how anger works and operates

But you've gotta have love just to set us straight

Just let your mind meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

CHORUS

Charlie

People killing people dying

Children hurt I hear them crying

Can you practice what you've preached

Or would you turn the other cheek

For the father, father help us

Seek some guidance from above

These people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

The love, the love, where is the love, the love, the love?

Mattie

It ain't just the same

Always in chains

New days are strange

Is the world insane?

If love and peace so strong

Why don't places of love that belong

Instead of dropping bombs?

Chemical gases filling the lungs of little ones

With on going suffering

As the youth die young

So I ask myself

What is really goin' wrong

So I ask myself

What is really goin' on

In this world that we're livin' in

People keep on givin' in

Making wrong decisions

Only visions of dividends

Not respectin' each other

Denying our brother

The war is goin' on

But the reasons under cover

The truth is kept secret

It's swept under the rug

If you never truth then you never know love

Where's the love James?

James

I dunno!

Mattie

Where's the truth James?

James

I dunno!

Where's the love yo?

CHORUS

James

I feel the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older

Y'all people get colder

Mattie

Most of us only care about money making

Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

James

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Mattie

Infectin' the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like they see in the cinema yo!

James

Whatever happened to the values of humanity?

What ever happened to the fairness and equality?

Mattie

Instead of spreadin' love we're speadin' animosity

Lack of understanding leading us away from unity

James

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down

Mattie

There's no reason why sometimes I'm feeling under

Gotta keep me faith till love is found!

So ask yourself

James

Come on!

Mattie

So ask yourself

Lend me some sugar

I am your neighbour!

Charlie

For the father, father help us

Seek some guidance from above

These people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

The love, the love, where is the love, the love, the love
