’s “Earth Song”

What about sunrise Hey, what about yesterday What about rain What about the seas What about all the things The heavens are falling down That you said we were to gain.. I can't even breathe . What about the bleeding Earth What about killing fields Can't we feel its wounds Is there a time What about nature's worth What about all the things (ooo,ooo) That you said was yours and mine... It's our planet's womb Did you ever stop to notice What about animals All the blood we've shed before (What about it) Did you ever stop to notice We've turned kingdoms to dust The crying Earth the weeping shores? What about elephants Have we lost their trust Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah What about crying whales We're ravaging the seas What have we done to the world What about forest trails Look what we've done (ooo, ooo) What about all the peace Burnt despite our pleas That you pledge your only son... What about the holy land What about flowering fields (What about it) Is there a time Torn apart by creed What about all the dreams What about the common man That you said was yours and mine... Can't we set him free Did you ever stop to notice What about children dying All the children dead from war Can't you hear them cry Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo) Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah Someone tell me why What about babies I used to dream (What about it) I used to glance beyond the stars What about the days Now I don't know where we are What about all their joy Although I know we've drifted far What about the man What about the crying man Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah What about Abraham Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah What about death again (ooo, ooo) Do we give a damn?
