Earth Song Lyrics

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?

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

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 this weeping shore

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

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

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

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 Africans (what about us)
I ain’t even you (what about us)
What about nature’s worth (ooh ooh)
It’s our planet’s womb (ahat about us)

What about animals (what about it)
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 (what about us)
We’re ravaging the seas (what about us)
What about forest trails (ooh ooh)
Burnt despite our pleas (what about us)

What about the holy land (what about it)
Torn apart by creed (what about us)
What about the common man (what about us)
Can’t we set him free (what about us)
What about children dying (what about us)
Can’t you hear them cry (what about us)
Where did we go wrong (ooh ooh)
Someone tell me why (what about us)

What about babies born (what about it)
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 (ooh ooh)
Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

    This is my second favorite Michael Jackson song of all time and after seeing the newer take he had with it when I saw “This Is It’, I can honestly say that the powerful message behind it made me cry. Let us not forget what he taught us, and learn from it. You are always loved Michael.

    But don’t you see? …
    But don’t you see? By having lack of faith in humanity, we would completely obliterate everything that Michael stood for: the fact that human beings CAN make a difference for good. We CAN change the world. We, as a people, need to learn that the human race isn’t the only one of importance. Small changes (planting gardens, avoiding plastic, not supporting animal cruelty) can make all the difference in the world. It starts with US. We just have to DO it.
