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...

    The title of the song tells us the meaning.

    Where is the love?

    Where is the love in our schools, homes, towns, governments, business, cities, countries, in our world where is it?

    Where is the respect we are all told to have for each other? Where is the peace? Where is the happiness?

    As i think,now a day people are not loving each other. Even we said,we love and help each other but it is not true.Not only in USA but also the whole world.Please thinking about people and think like human being.

    the meaning behind this song is for people to wake up to how we are treating each other .. thats sounds obvious but what i mean is that we are all connected to each other in this world.. just imagine if the world were a place of peace where we did all treat each other with love "TRUE LOVE" the kind that has no oposite, stop listening to the media as it only wants us to feel fear , governments keeping things secretive from us and so on .. this is not something we should worry about it is something we should understand and once we do then we then step into our own power, seeking the love for ourselves and others once we achieve this it spreads ppl wake up and start operating at a higher level of counisness, all that controling by governments and false message from media becomes useless and powerless to our being :) all is one and one is all lets stay focused on treating each other with love as it is the highest vibration this is where miricals happen this is where we unite and change the world as we know it, this is where the lyrics of this song dont become fiction or unacted on THIS IS WHEN THOSE LYRICS BECOME OUR WAY OF LIFE !

    Where in the song it says The bloods and the Crips and the Klu Klux Klan referred to as the K.K.K when it says this it means the bloods are the murders, the Crips are the gangsters and the K.K.K (where an extremist group in the U.S.A and racist towards African Americans.)

    I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.

    It is a pity, that now I can not express - I hurry up on job. But I will be released - I will necessarily write that I think on this question.

    my interpreatation is that there is so much hate in the world that there is no room left for love that's why it is called "Where is the love"
    It wants us to think about what we say before we say it.

    When I heard this song, I though about all the wars which America starts.
    "But we still got terrorists here livin'
    In the USA, the big CIA"
    And when I saw the kids playing that game in the video, it made me think that kids are drawn in violence in poorer families.

    Whoever wrote the essay with the lyrics is a retard. You got 40% of the lyrics wrong and you don't even know the words in the chorus. If you knew what they actually said then you might have a better chance at interpreting the song. Until then please don't post any more embarrassing attempts like that.
