Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

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, old ways have changed

Echo the hook

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