"Damn," she said, "The baby's on its way"
And at the same moment someone in their family passed away
It's funny how in life things happen for a reason
Leaves change, they fall, then we're in another season and
The hippies tell me that's what makes this precious world go around
To help a brother, when a brother is seem to falling down
I open up my eyes; I'm looking, searching all around
I'm having trouble finding what I should have found
And so I'm wondering:
Are we are all going to unite?
Are we going to stand up straight, not give in?
It's time we stop the wars
Time we search some more
Open our eyes and let peace in
I hear this talk of the bible and I hear you speak of this lord up above
And the question I'm not understanding is: Where is the love?
Think back
Remember in the '70s when protesting was common smoking pot and trying LSD
People weren't afraid to fight for what they felt was right
It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight
Or if you're black or white
I think it's time to take a look at what the world's become
Cause I see people acting like they think that we're the only ones
Open up your eyes and realize that we are not awake
There's other generations that will suffer cause of our mistakes
Are we are all going to unite?
Are we going to stand up straight, not give in?
It's time we stop the wars
Time we search some more
Open our eyes and let peace in
I hear this talk of the bible and I hear you speak of this lord up above
And the question I'm not understanding is, tell me, where is the love?
I will fight, I will stand up
I will fight, I will stand up
(I will fight, I will stand up)
(I will fight, I will stand up) I think it's time
(I will fight, I will stand up)
(I will fight, I will stand up) I think it's time
(I will fight, I will stand up)
(I will fight, I will stand up)
(I will fight, I will stand up) We should get along when everything is coming down
(I will fight, I will stand up) There's children suffering, there's poverty all around
(I will fight, I will stand up) Our world's collapsing and we haven't done a thing
(I will fight, I will stand up) Think of what we could create if together we would sing
