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
The crying of the weeping souls?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the things that you played your only song?
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
The crying of the weeping souls?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-oh-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 gifted far
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-oh-ooh-ooh
What about yesterday? (What about us?)
What about the sea? (What about us?)
Everything falling down, I can't even breathe (what about us?)
What about empathy? (What about us?)
I need you (what about us?)
What about nature's wealth? (What about us?)
It's up to the world (what about us?)
What about governance? (What about us?)
Can't we set them free? (Whatabout us?)
What about children's lives? (What about us?)
Can't we hear them cry?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
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
The crying of the weeping souls?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the things that you played your only song?
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
The crying of the weeping souls?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-oh-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 gifted far
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-oh-ooh-ooh
What about yesterday? (What about us?)
What about the sea? (What about us?)
Everything falling down, I can't even breathe (what about us?)
What about empathy? (What about us?)
I need you (what about us?)
What about nature's wealth? (What about us?)
It's up to the world (what about us?)
What about governance? (What about us?)
Can't we set them free? (Whatabout us?)
What about children's lives? (What about us?)
Can't we hear them cry?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
