歌詞:
Where is the Love
What's wrong with the world, mama
People living 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 living
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Cripes 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
Badness 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, old ways have changed
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 dropping bombs
Chemical gasses filling lungs of little ones
With the ongoing suffering as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really gone
So I could ask myself really what is going wrong
In this world that we living in people keep on giving in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respecting each other, deny thy brother
A war is going 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 really know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't really 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 getting older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money making
Selfishness got us following 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 of spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
So ask yourself
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
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)
*呃...單字請自己查, 關於turn the other cheek 這句,
典故是出自於聖經(我想這句話太有名了應該沒什麼人不知道)
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
以上都是在向天父祈禱
大概就這樣~~
Elen的簡單介紹&碎碎唸:
這首歌, 假如歌詞不用查字典就全懂的話那真的是太強!!!(快來救救我的英文吧~)
哎呀呀, 這話題也不是那麼嚴肅啦
總之一開頭就在-ma結尾的問候媽媽(褐色的那段)
藍色部分是個人特別喜歡的句子
中間綠色那段比較負面一點,
雖然說我們這些中學生日子過得還算安逸
但世界上還是有很多地方
面臨戰亂, 孩子們無法上學
吃也吃不飽......
然後是我們對世界的破壞和汙染,
總之很多很多啦, 這段比較沉重一點
接下來紫色的是我看了最難過的一段
述說人的冷漠, 自私
還有媒體濫用影響力, 青少年失去判斷善惡的能力, 胡亂模仿
變得虛偽, 缺乏主見
(這在美國還挺嚴重的,

這種首歌的內容似乎有點灰暗
但他的目的正是為了喚起我們心中的愛
也說明了這世上善意的齒輪仍繼續運轉著
推動, 激勵我們去營造一個更美好的家園!!!!!
P.S.黑眼豆豆實在太帥氣啦, 相信大家對他們並不陌生, 我也不多作介紹了~~
