Now, for THIS SONG:
Where Is The Love? by Black Eyed Peas, 2003; performed/taught here by Marco D.

VERSES 1:
What’s wrong with the world, Mama?
People livin like they ain’t got no mamas
I think the whole world’s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that’d bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and the Crips 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 if you hate you’re bound to get irate

Yeah, madness is what you 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

CHORUS:
People killin, people dyin
Children hurt and you hear them cryin
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
Cuz people got me, got me questioning

Where is the love? [LOVE]
Where is the love? [THE LOVE]
Where is the love? [THE LOVE]
Where is the love, the love, the love?

VERSES 2:
It just ain’t the same - all ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong?
Nations dropping bombs

Chemical gasses filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering as the youth die young
So ask yourself, is the lovin really gone?
So I can ask myself really, what is going wrong

With this world that we are livin in?
People keep on givin in
Makin wrong decisions, only visions of them livin
And not respecting each other - deny thy brother
The war’s goin on but the reason’s undercover

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?

[REPEAT CHORUS]

CHORUS EXTENSION:
Where is the love? [THE LOVE]
Where is the love? [THE LOVE]
Where is the love, the love, the love?

[INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS:]

VERSES 3:
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I’m gettin older y’all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

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
It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin under
Gotta keep my faith alive til love is found - ask yourself

SHORTENED CHORUS:
Where is the love - where is the love
Where is the love - where is the love

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
Cuz people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?

OUTRO:
Sing with me y’all [ONE WORLD, ONE WORLD]
We only got [ONE WORLD, ONE WORLD]
That’s all we got [ONE WORLD, ONE WORLD]

Somethin’s wrong with it [YEAH]
Somethin’s wrong with it [YEAH]
Somethin’s wrong with the w-w-world [YEAH]

We only got [ONE WORLD, ONE WORLD]
That’s all we got [ONE WORLD, ONE WORLD]
