LYRICFLUENTThe Love Lyrics by Black Eyed Peas Black Eyed Peas , Jennifer Hudson
Below, you will find the lyrics for The Love by Black Eyed Peas.
Good evening
Ella Baker
A giant of the civil rights movement
Left us with this wisdom
Give people light
And they will find a way
Give people light
Those are words for our time
Just a week ago yesterday
It was the third anniversary
Of the events in Charlottesville
Close your eyes
Remember what you saw on television
Remember seeing those neo-nazis
Remember seeing those Klansmen
Remember
Coming out of fields with lighted torches
Veins bulging
Spewing the same anti-semetic bile
Heard across Europe in the 30s'
Remember the violent clash that ensued
Between those spreading hate and those
With the courage to stand against it?
Remember what the president said when asked?
He said there were quote, 'very fine people on both sides'
That was a wake up call for us as a country
And for me
A call to action
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', 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
Questioning
Where's the love
What's going on with the world, momma
People living like they ain't got no mommas
I think the whole word's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring the trauma
Oversees yeah we trying to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA
The KKK
I can't believe they still hatin blacks today
'Cause 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 hate 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
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', 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
Questioning
Where's the love
The love
The love
Where is the love?
The love, the love
The love
The love
Where is the love?
The love
The love
So, the question for us is simple
Are we ready?
I believe we are
We must be
We can choose the path of becoming angrier
Less hopeful
More divided
A path of shadow and suspicion
Or, or we can choose a different path
And together
Take this chance to heal
To reform
To unite
A path of hope and light
This is a life-changing election
This will determine what America's going to look like
For a long, long time
Yes it is
Character is on the ballot
Compassion is on the ballot
Compassion
Decency, science, democracy
They are all on the ballot
Who we are as a nation
What we stand for, and most importantly
Who we want to be
That's all on the ballot
And the choice could not be more clear
