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
These crying earth, these weeping shores?

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 were 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?

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
All that I know, we've drifted far

What about yesterday?
What about the seas?
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about apathy?
I need you
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb
What about animals?
We've turned kingdom to dust
What about elephants?
Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales?
Ravaging the sea
What about forest trails?
Burned despite our pleas
What about the holy land?
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man?
Can we set him free?
What about children dying?
Can you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why
What about baby boy?
What about the days?
What about all the joy?
What about the man?
What about the crying man?
What about Abraham?
What about death again?
Do we give a damn?
