Where is the love. what does this song protest?

what is this song protesting?








What's wrong with the world, mama


People livin' like they ain't got no mamas


I think the whole world addicted to the drama


Only attracted to things that'll bring you 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 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 when you hate then 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, y'all





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


'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, always unchanged


New days are strange, is the world insane


If love and peace is so strong


Why are there pieces of love that don't belong


Nations droppin' bombs


Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones


With 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, deny thy brother


A war is 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





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


'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





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' our wrong direction


Wrong information always shown by the media


Negative images is the main criteria


Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria


Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema


Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity


Whatever happened to the fairness in equality


Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity


Lack of understanding, leading lives 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 till love is found





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


'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)





Where is the love (The love)


Where is the love (The love)


Where is the love (The love) Where is the love. what does this song protest?
It's protesting the lack of love in the world.
