Earth Song

"Earth Song"--Michael Jackson

What about sunrise What about rain
What about all the things That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields Is there a time
What about all the things That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world Look what we've done
What about all the peace That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields Is there a time
What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaah AaaaaaaaahAaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah AaaaaaaaahAaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about apathy
I need you
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb
What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants
Have we lost their trust
What about crying whales
We're ravaging the seas
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man
Can't we set him free
What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again
Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
