The lyrics highlight various global problems, including:
Racial injustice and police brutality: "People killin', people dyin' / Children hurt and you hear them cryin' / Can you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek?"
Violence and war: "War and destruction, terror on the streets / It seems we all forgot how to communicate / We only want to point out who's to blame."
Poverty and inequality: "People starvin', babies cryin' / Mother help us, no sense denyin' / If I fight for peace, I must fight for you..."
Environmental degradation: "Pollution, poison's in the air / We don't have no time to breath, we need some fresh air / No time to point the finger, we all gotta do our share."
The overarching message of the song is a plea for understanding, empathy, and unity: "Where is the love, the love that we once shared? / Show me, show me... 'Cause without love we ain't nothing."
It emphasizes the shared responsibility of humanity to overcome these challenges and create a more loving and compassionate world. The chorus underscores the urgency of finding love as a solution: "Find a way, find a way, find a way, find a way / Back to love."
