Where is the Love?

 

Bombs exploding

Guns Firing

Young children kidnapped for sex trafficking

Hundreds are dying every day from lack of food or clean water

Homeless lives consume our downtown streets

Single parents are struggling to work, pay bills, and be there for their children

We say lives matter, but we are constantly discriminating

We say we don’t hate, but actions speak louder than words

Don’t tell someone they’re wrong, because everyone is right

Sexual identity is the meaning of life

Bathrooms have become a major debate

You can became a hashtag in an instant

Practicing your faith makes you a bigot

Politicians are making you cringe every time they open their mouth

Social media timelines are filled with hatred and fighting

A country thought once united in race seems split again

This is supposed to be a country of freedom

But everything you do is scrutinized

Our freedom is slowly disappearing

People are losing their lives over skin color, sexual orientation, religion, nationality

We say #lovewins but is it really winning?

Where is the love? 

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?
