Where is the love? Lyrics

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...

everyone here thinks this song is about the war in iraq. that is but a small part of the true meaning of this song. this song refers to the fight against racism that took place in our country. it talks about how kids are getting involved in gangs and caught up in a whole lot of crap that should be avoided. people are being killed form these decisions people are being hurt nothing good is coming from the surplus of hate that this country has for numerous and absurd things such as war in iraq when we should not be there anymore. we are worrying about problems that are occurring in other countries rather than fixing out situation. we need to fix our situation. we cant be going to war as it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but also minor issues that take place here in the united states whether it be racism or anything at all. this song is basically calling out all of the hatred and all of the un-needed crap that takes place in todays society

I think the song is about lack of love in the world and how everybody is causing madness. I think the point of the song is to make people realise that we should be spreading love and not hate and stop discriminating each other and causing world havoc. They are expressing all issues and saying it in. meaningful and emotive way to get listeners to understand this major problem.

It is about the disintergration of society's values.
Examples:
"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"
Racism is being expressed in violent/humiliating methods nowadays.

"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"

Materialism is getting more common. Making money seems to be the most important thing in people's minds now.

"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"

It seems that the youth are easily influenced by the media. This leads to the rise in juvenile crime and violent acts.

There is a range of poetic sources in this song such as similes, repetition and alliteration. For similes, there is a part that said: “that election looks like a joke” this is allowing us to make an image in our head of what is the election like. Next is repetition, there are some examples in it such as “Father, Father, Father, where is you love gone?” this part is making us think why the song repeated “Father” and the meaning of it. The last language feature I found is alliteration, the example for this is, “What happened to the love and the values of humanity? (Where's the love?) What happened to love and fairness and equality? (Where's the love?) Instead of spreading love, we're spreading animosity (Where's the love?) Lack of understanding leading us away from unity” this part is asking us questions to think for the answer and understand the author's purpose of this song. These are the three main language features that made this protest song an inspirational song to many people and me.

Sa lahat ng makakabasa nito, nawa'y maisa-isip at maisa-puso ninyo ang tunay na kahulugan ng awiting ito. Ang PAGMAMAHAL sa kapwa. Sa pamagat pa lamang ng awiting ito ay malalaman na natin ang ibig nitong iparating. Kailangan nating mahalin ang ating kapwa dahil ang pagmamahal lamang ang tanging magdadala sa atin sa magandang paraiso sa kabilang buhay.

They are seeking for love, Justice and equality for all. We Should not descriminate each other because we are created in the same way by God so we should treat each other equally.

We think the song is about lack of love in the world and how everybody is causing madness. We think the point of the song is to make people realize that we should be spreading love, not hate and to stop discriminating against each other because these are causing major problems in society. They are expressing all issues and saying it in a meaningful and emotional way to get listeners to understand these major problems.

I believe that the message that this song is trying to show us is how people are growing with all this racism in their hearts because this is what they have showed them.

In the song "Imagine" John Lennon sings "No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man." This song reflects our theme because if the 2 families didn't have all of the things they have Romeo and Juliet would have been able to live in peace without having to worry about the rivalry between families.  This reflects the real world because if people didn't have all the things they have they wouldn't have so much pride about themselves and people would see tomorrow.

In the song "Where is the Love" the artists sing "But if you only have love for your own race, then there is space to discriminate." These song lyrics reflect on our theme because if the two families showed love to each other they wouldn't have lost Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, and Tybalt due to violence.  This song reflects on the real world because it asks us "What ever happened to the values of humanity?"  which is a question a lot of people ask when they watch any type of news.  The world has turned into a horrible place and if we just showed love to each other we could fix it.

In the song "Heal the World" Michael Jackson sings, "Heal the world we live in, save it for our children." This song reflects on the text by talking about how we can make this world a better place for our children a lot like how the 2 main families could've helped Romeo and Juliet be more happy in their life.  This applies to the real world because many children have to grow up around drugs and violence due to the carelessness of another.

In the song "If Everyone Cared" Nickleback wrote "If everyone cared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day that nobody died." This song reflects our theme because if the 2 families stopped being so selfish and prideful they could live side by side with each other and peace, which would allow Romeo and Juliet to get married. This is present in the real world because people make bad decisions based on their pride and/or selfishness and it costs them more than it gives them.

In the song "Mansion" NF raps "Physically abused, now that's a room I don't want to be in. That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't want to see it."This song reflects our theme because the violence that Romeo and Juliet had to grow up in caused them to be scared to tell their parents that they loved each other costing them their life.  This is reflected in the real world because it shows that kids can keep memories from a long time ago well into their adulthood and they can just build up inside.
