[verse 1 – niyola] i have a dream, where we lived with ease
people working together
tolerate one another
am scared to think, of what maybe
if we don’t pursue the peace we’re seeking
[hook/chorus – niyola] where is the love?
where is the laughter?
where is the life we were promised?
where is the love?
where is the laughter?
where is the life we were promised?

[verse 2 – adekunle gold] where is the love and unity?
and the peace that used to be

why we don’t love each other?
