Thanks! These lyrics are currently locked and can only be edited by moderators and administrators. You must be logged in to edit lyrics. Unable to save lyrics. Please try again. Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a great song with a strong meaning. I believe the song is saying about how the world lives in a disater and should live in happiness and peace.

in this world the only way to reach out to people and have your voice be heard is through music. artists have the grand privledge of writing music to make a difference. some dont take advantage of it..writing about sex, drugs and killing yourself. music, i think, is the driving force in some of the decisions kids make these days. music promotes their personality. and for this band to come out and write about every day issues and asking the very question everyone has on their mind, is incredible to me. im not a fan of justin but he sounded really good. the song is powerful and really makes you think harder bout that question..Where IS the love??

Yo. This goes to whoever is reading this. Take a step back from the world you’re living in, and start seeing some new shit.

Please do note that: The Black Eyed Peas ft. Justin Timberlake: Where Is The Love Speaks the truth, really. Or a question that lingers, and have lingered in today's society, and for some time now in fact. What the fuck happened to us all, why we killing, hurting, messing with each other, like hell where's the love dammit.

"Can you practice what you preach?" "Would you turn the other cheek?"
