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 fightin'
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) 

被风吹散的回忆

刚丛Chinatown K 歌回来。三点钟的Sansom， 仍然灯火辉煌。想想看，这是在美国第二次唱k 了。两次还都是这个学期去的。第一次在Rodeo和APO 的人一起high. 自己是一群酒鬼中为数不多的清醒者之一。一排十来个人，抱着，挤着在一个极小的屋子里面狂吼，狂跳。碎酒瓶的声音似乎是我对当晚留下的唯一印象。我们从英文歌一直唱到韩国歌，然后一个韩国男生竟然大吼了起王力宏的《唯一》。让我顿时惊讶不已。然后很多奇怪的事情发生了。找眼镜，找钥匙，花了很长时间的打车。折腾了半天终于到了家。那个晚上，我忽然感到了一个陌生的三月夜晚，在这样一个离家十万八千里的城市，也有这么一群人可以吼歌，可以发疯，可以依靠。心里甚是满足和感激。

今天晚上，在Chinatown我们又一次并排的抱着，一首一首的吼。十几个二十出头的孩子们，唱着特别特别老的歌，很有感觉。一直觉得自己是一个在音乐上严重断代的人。今天发现了这么多志同道合者，颇感安慰。点了几次每次去KTV都会唱的歌，遗憾的是，发现自己还是不怎么会唱。同样的歌，在不同的国家，和不同的朋友，在不同的心境下唱，总是能唱出很不同的味道。不过相同的是那份久违的依靠感，发泄的快感和无须言语的理解。

以前，一直以为友谊这种东西，需要很长很长的时间去沉淀。可是自从上个暑假，我就发现，原来我们不要只计量时间的宽度，更要注重时间的厚度。有的时候，一场无眠之夜的深聊，一次短途旅行，一次唱K就可以忽然把人和人的距离拉的很近很近。 也许是长大了，更了解自己和周围的人了。知道和什么样的人合得来，什么样的人不管怎么努力也还是没话说。估计，这种就是所谓的缘分了吧。
