Lyrics
As I look around at all of God's creation
The love that was given, what a fascination
The driving of the nail, it penetrates my soul
But the eyes grow weary, for this world has loss control
Life gets harder day after day
Children killing children, they're being lead astray
Hurting are the people, looking for an answer
It's all to clear to me, but who's gonna be the master
Chorus
Where's the love, where's the peace
Stop the hatred, let the killing cease
Where's the love, where's the peace
Stop the hatred, let the killing cease
Let there be peace
Where's our respect, where's our manners
Lost in to the years to unloved and battered
What are we teaching this generation?
How hatred and slander can build a nation
Oh the clothes we wear or the color of our skin
See it really doesn't matter if we lose or win
The message that is here is to love if you dare
Can anyone hear me, does anyone really care
Chorus
Where's the love, where's the peace
Stop the hatred, let the killing cease
Where's the love, where's the peace
Stop the hatred, let the killing cease
Let there be peace
