Earth Song

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
This crying Earth, this weeping shore?

Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh

What have we’ve 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
This crying Earth, this weeping shore?

Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh

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

Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh

(Ah, ah-ah) what about yesterday? What about the seas?
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) heavens are falling down, I can’t even breathe
(Ah, ah-ah) what about apathy? I need you
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) what about nature’s worth? It’s our planet’s womb

(Ah, ah-ah) what about animals? Turned kingdom to dust
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) what about elephants? Have we lost their trust?
(Ah, ah-ah) what about crying whales? Ravaging the seas?
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) what about forest trails? Burnt despite our pleas

(Ah, ah-ah) what about the holy land? Torn apart by greed?
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) what about the common man? Can’t we set him free?
(Ah, ah-ah) what about children dying? Can’t you hear them cry?
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) where did we go wrong? Someone tell me why
