Shadow Questions

[Verse 1]
Where is the love
why is there endless wars?
Since the beginning,
that’s all we’ve known
Why can’t we love?
Why do we close the door?
We’re all a human
We all bleed the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who profits
when the ashes fall
Tell me who wins
when the children call
Hands on the table
look me in the eye
If we keep hating
we all lose tonight
[Chorus]
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
We all bleed the same
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
Let the mercy stay
[Verse 2]
I see the mothers
counting missing names
I see the sons gone
for somebody’s claim
Small hands shaking
at the broken gate
Still they feed us
fear like it’s our fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who profits
when the ashes fall
Tell me who wins
when the children call
Hands on the table
look me in the eye
If we keep hating
we all lose tonight
[Chorus]
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
We all bleed the same
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
Let the mercy stay
[Bridge]
I don’t want your gold
if it costs a child
I don’t want peace
with a masked-up smile
Break that circle
open every hand
We were born to build
not bury land
[Final Chorus]
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
We all bleed the same
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
Let the mercy stay
Where is the love? (where is the love?)
Where is the love?
Love can lead us home

Pop-soul protest anthem with mid-tempo swing, handclap groove, and a steady kick-snare pulse; verse rides sparse piano, muted bass, and tight snaps, pre-chorus opens with rising pads and stacked harmonies, chorus hits with full drums, gang vocal chants, and a simple call-and-response hook. Lead vocal stays intimate in verses, doubled in choruses with wide ad-libs and short delay throws. Ear candy: reversed swells into the pre, crackling radio texture under the bridge, and a cymbal lift into the final hook. Mix is warm, wide, and radio-bright.
