The Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love? (Official Music Video)
What's wrong with the world, mama?
People livin' like they ain't got no mamasI think the whole world's addicted to the dramaOnly attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we tryna stop terrorismBut we still got terrorists here livin'In the USA, the big CIAThe Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own raceThen you only leave space to discriminateAnd to discriminate only generates hateAnd when you hate, then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrateAnd that's exactly how anger works and operatesMan, you gotta have love just to set it straightTake control of your mind and meditateLet your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'Children hurt, hear them cryin'Can you practice what you preachOr would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help usSend some guidance from above'Cause people got me, got me questionin'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?
It just ain't the same, old ways have changedNew days are strange, is the world insane?If love and peace are so strongWhy are there pieces of love that don't belong?
Nations droppin' bombsChemical gasses fillin' lungs of little onesWith ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die youngSo ask yourself, is the lovin' really gone?
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrongIn this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' inMakin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividendsNot respectin' each other, deny thy brotherA war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rugIf you never know truth then you never know loveWhere'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, hear them cryin'Can you practice what you preachOr would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help usSend some guidance from above'Cause people got me, got me questionin'Where is the love (love)

Il testo si pone contro la guerra e affronta diversi problemi che affliggono il mondo, compresi il terrorismo, la corruzione il razzismo. Disturbati da questa situazione, il gruppo simula una telefonata a Dio (che ha la voce di Justine Timberlake) chiedendogli "Dov'è l'amore?"
I Black Eyed Peas hanno pubblicato "Where is The Love" nel 2003 in risposta agli attacchi dell'11 settembre. Il messaggio è: "Dovremmo amarci e accettarci tutti a prescindere dalla razza, dal colore o dalla religione".
Questo messaggio è ancora attuale? Che ne pensi ?
