If you never know truth then you never know love

I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here living
In the USA, the big CIA
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.
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,

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
With ongoing suffering as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really gone
So I could ask myself really what is going wrong
In this world that we living in people keep on giving in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respecting each other, deny thy brother
A war is going 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

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money making
Selfishness got us following 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
whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we 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

Misschien een dom liedje van Black Eyed peas, maar als je et nu nog eens leest, en goed bedenkt wat JIJ zou kunnen doen, wordt het er dan niet een stuk betere tekst van?
