Lyrics

What’s (F)wrong with the world, ma ma?

Peo ple liv in’ like they (C)ain’t got no ma ma.

I think the whole (Dm)world’s ad dict ed to the dra ma, on ly at tract ed to (Bb)things that will bring the trau ma.

O ver seas, yeah, we (F)try to stop ter ror is m, but we still got (C)ter ror ists here liv in’ in the U S A, the big C I A, the Bloods and the (Bb)Crips and the K K K.

But if you on ly have (F)love for your own race, then you on ly leave (C)space to dis crim i nate, and to dis crim i nate (Dm)on ly gen er ates hate.

And when you hate, then you’re (Bb)bound to get i rate, yeah.

The bad (F)ness is what you dem on strate.

And that’s ex act ly how (C)an ger works and op er ates.

Man, you got ta have (Dm)love just to set it straight.

Take con trol of your mind and med i tate.

Let your soul grav i tate to the (F)love, y’all.

Peo ple kill in’, peo ple dy in’.

Chil dren hurt and you hear them cry in’.

Can you prac tice what you preach?

And would you turn the oth er cheek?

Fa ther, Fa ther, Fa ther, help us; send some guid ance from a bove, ’cause peo ple got me, got me ques tion ing: Where is the love, (F)Love, (Where is the love?

(C)love, Where is the love?) (Dm)love?

Where is the love, the love, the love?

It (F)ain’t just the same, al ways un changed.

New days are strange.

Is the world in sane?

If (Dm)love and peace are so strong, why are the piec es of (Bb)love that don’t be long?

Na tions drop ping bombs, (F)chem i cal gas es fill ing lungs of lit tle ones, with (C)on go in’ suf fer in’ as the youth die young.

So (Dm)ask your self, Is the lov in’ real ly gone?

So I could (Bb)ask my self, real ly, What is go in’ wrong?

In this (F)world that we liv in’ in, peo ple keep on giv in’ in, (C)mak in’ wrong de ci sions, on ly vi sions of the div i dends, not (Dm)re spect ing each oth er; de ny thy broth er.

A (Bb)war’s go in’ on, but the rea son’s un der cov er.

The truth is kept se cret; it’s swept un der the rug.

If you nev er know truth, then you nev er 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 (Dm)love, (Where is the love?

(Bbsus2)love?

Where is the love?

(F)Love, Where is the love?

(C)love, Where is the love?

(Dm)love?

Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoul der.

(Csus4)As I’m get tin’ old er, y’all, peo ple gets cold er.

(F)Most of us on ly care a bout mon ey mak in’.

(Bbsus2)Self ish ness got us fol low in’ the wrong di rec tion.

(F5)Wrong in for ma tion al ways shown by the me di a.

(Csus4)Neg a tive im ag es is the main cri te ri a, (F)in fect ing the young mind fast er than bac te ri a.

Kids want to act like what they see in the cin e ma.

Yo!

What ev er hap pened to the val ues of hu man i (C)ty?

What ev er hap pened to the fair ness of e qual i (Dm)ty?

In stead of spread ing love, we’re spread ing an i mos i (Bb)ty.

Lack of un der stand ing, lead ing lives a way from (F)u ni ty.

That’s the rea son why some times I’m feel in’ (C)un der.

That’s the rea son why some times I’m feel in’ (Dm)down.

There’s no won der why some times I’m feel in’ (Bb)un der.

Got ta keep my faith a live till love is (F)found, and ask your self… (Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Fa ther, Fa ther, Fa ther help us; send some guid ance from a bove, ’cause peo ple got me, got me ques tion ing: Where is the love?

Sing with me, (C)y’all… (One world, one world, We on ly (Dm)got… one world, one world, that’s all we (Bb)got… one world, one world.) Some thing’s (F)wrong with it, (Yeah, some thing’s wrong with it, yeah.) some thing’s (C)wrong with the big world, world, yeah.

We on ly (Dm)got… (One world, one world, that’s all we (Bbsus2)got… one world, one world.)

Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
