[Joe Biden & Jennifer Hudson] Good evening Ella Baker, a giant of the civil rights movement Left us with this wisdom Give people light, and they will find the way Give people light (hmm) Those are words for our time [Joe Biden & Jennifer Hudson] Just a?week?ago?yesterday It was the?third anniversary Of the?events in Charlottesville (yeah, yeah) Close your eyes, remember what you saw on the television Remember seeing those Neo-Nazis Remember seeing those clansmen, remember Coming out a field with lighted torches, veins bulging Spewing the same Anti-semitic bile heard across Europe in the thirties (hate, hate, hate!) Remember the violent clash that ensued Between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it And remember what the President said when asked? He said there were quote, "very fine people on both sides" It was a wake-up call for us as a country (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) And for me a call to action (uhm-hmm) [Black Eyed Peas & Jennifer Hudson] People killing, people dying Children hurting, you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questioning Where is the love? [will.i.am] What's wrong with the world, mama? People living like they ain't got no mamas I think the whole world's addicted to the drama Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma Overseas yeah we trying to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here living In the USA, the KKK I can’t believe they’re still hating blacks today But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate, yeah Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how hate works and operates Man you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love [Black Eyed Peas & Jennifer Hudson] People killing, people dying Children hurting, you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questioning Where is the love? [Black Eyed Peas & Jennifer Hudson] The love (lo-Love, oh-oh), the love Where is the love? The love, the love The love, the love, the love Where is the love? The love, the love, the love [Joe Biden & Jennifer Hudson] So the question for us is simple: are we ready? I believe we are, we must be We can choose a path of becoming angrier, less hopeful, more divided A path of shadow and suspicion Or, or we can choose a different path And together (ah-ah), take this chance to heal, to reform, to unite (hmm) A path of hope and light (umm-hmm) This is a life-changing election This will determine what America is gonna look like for a long, long time (yes it is) Character is on the ballot Compassion is on the ballot (compassion) Decency, science, democracy (yeah) They're all on the ballot Who we are as a nation, what we stand for And most importantly we want to be That's all on the ballot And the choice could not be more clear
