Topic: Were is the Love

Not sure were to post this.
Seen "insights"
This song helped in my awakening:

Anyone every posted this? no? OK Enjoy,if you never heard it, have a wee listen, it's amazing:

This song made me realise that the excuse, Not God's fault but mans',people doing it to each other was BS.
Was the world mad,why was is it so mad, why did nothing change,can it be for real?
Nope




[center]BLACK EYED PEAS LYRICS

"Where Is The Love?"

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)
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 of spreading love we're 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
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
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?

Sing wit me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit the wo-wo-world,
yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)[/center]

Re: Were is the Love

I love this song and it is pretty inspiring for me...
The funny thing about the Black Eyed Peas is that they turned into a money machine, very far from the lyrics above...
We should be very careful about not being "eaten" by the system when we have something really good to bring to the society...

Here's a thread for you, calpamu

Re: Were is the Love

Damn guys, this song has me tingling...it's funny, I kind of missed this song back when it came out. Thanks alot calpamu, this is gonna be one of my summer songs  wink
My sister mentioned how Fergie (the lady from the band) really took the band in another direction... "My Humps" is just an example of this.

Re: Were is the Love

Points taken,I don't like much else of their's, just this one, they are like the rest of mainstram as mentioned.
I'm still a babe in the woods with all this.

Dark music can inspire ,awaken as can light,  true.
That last entry of Google's probably sumed it up for me.

[center]"Music and spirituality have been linked, for me, for a long time.

That inexplicable breath of the divine makes an occasional appearance.

That sip of cool water to a thirsty soul.

No kidding.



Don't be confused.

Don't listen to what you THINK you should listen to.

Unabashedly listen to what moves you.

Even if that happens to be Celine Dion or Raffy, go for it.

Music is like food.

Children don't have a sophisticated palate, but they develop one.

It starts with puting your mashed potatoes and gravy in your milk and ends somewhere near, knowing which Chardonnay goes best with Duck a L'Orange.

Most of us are in between somewhere.


Trust your inner musical compass and enjoy."[/center]

I like to take the best out of everything and suck all the goodness out of it till it is absorbed.
If something doesn't "feel" right I drop it like a hot-cake.
This song has brought me to tears (dunno if that's a good thing)and made me resonate feelings of love to all.
Anyways,saying as this is already discussed elsewere, I'll say thanks for listening, I'm glad some were inspired and enjoy your summer MM wink
