Earth Song
—Michael Jackson
What about sunrise
①What 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
What have we done to the world
②Look 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
③I 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
Hey, what about yesterday(What about us)
What about the seas (What about us)
The heavens are falling down (What about us)
I can’t even breathe (What about us)
What about lost again (What about us)
I landed the woe(What about us)
What about nature’s worth
It’s our planet’s womb(What about us)
What about animals (What about it)
We’ve turned kingdoms to dust(What about us)
What about elephants (What about us)
Have we lost their trust (What about us)
What about crying whales (What about us)
We’re ravaging the seas(What about us)
