There was a song
I remember
Said What the world
Needs now
Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hearts
'Cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain
Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hearts
'Cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hearts crying
Please explain
The fathers and mothers are crying
Sisters and brothers crying
Please explain
Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hearts are crying
