Earth Song Lyrics

Earth Song

From Michael Jackson's HIStory album
Written by Michael Jackson
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you say we were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you say 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 shores

Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Oooooooooooh Ooooooooooooh

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
This crying Earth
These weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Oooooooooooh Oooooooooooooh

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

Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Ooooooooooooh Oooooooooooooh

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 the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wound
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(oooooh, oooooh)
It's our planet womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about us)
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
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about the forest trails
(oooooh, oooooh)
Burnt despite our please
(What about us)
What about the Holy Land
(What about us)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
Can't we send him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't we hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(What about us)
(ooooh, oooooh)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about us)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What about us)
What about death again
(What about us)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaaaah, Aaaaaaaaaaah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
