Earth Song

Michael Jackson

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