The lyrics to "Where Is The Love?" by Black Eyed Peas express concern about violence, discrimination, and lack of love in the world. The song questions why, despite the strength of love and peace, there is so much suffering, hatred, and conflict. It calls for guidance, unity, and reflection on humanity's values. Here are some key excerpts from the lyrics:
- "What's wrong with the world, mama? People living like they ain't got no mamas. I think the whole world's addicted to the drama, only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma."
- "If you only have a love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate. And to discriminate only generates hate."
- "People killing, people dying, children hurt and you hear them crying. Can you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek?"
- "Father, Father, Father, help us, send some guidance from above, 'cause people got me, got me questioning, where is the love?"
- "I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I'm getting older, y'all, people gets colder. Most of us only care about money making, selfishness got us following our wrong direction."
- "Whatever happened to the values of humanity? Whatever happened to fairness and equality? Instead of spreading love, we spreading animosity."
- "Sing with me y'all, one world, one world, we only got one world, that's all we got. Something's wrong with it, something's wrong with the wo-wo-world."
These lyrics highlight social issues such as terrorism, racism, media negativity, and the loss of human values, urging listeners to seek love and peace
