Earth Song
Michael Jackson (Mp3Mad.CoM) Lyrics

What about sunrise
What about the beauty of nature and its constant renewal

What about rain
What about the necessity of water for life and growth

What about all the things that you said We were to gain
What about the promises made for our future and the future of the world

What about killing fields Is there a time What about all the things That you said were yours and mine
What about the devastation of war and loss of life, and the importance of shared responsibility and ownership for the world we live in

Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores
Did you ever pause to reflect on the history of violence and destruction, and the pain that the Earth itself carries as a result

What have we done to the world Look what we've done What about all the peace That you pledge your only son
What damage have we inflicted upon the planet and its inhabitants, and how can we reconcile that with the ideals of love and salvation

What about flowering fields Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine
What about the beauty of nature and the potential of our shared aspirations, and whether or not we will preserve and fulfill them

Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever stop to notice This crying earth, these weeping shores
Did you ever care enough to see the countless innocent lives lost to war and conflict, and the environmental consequences of that suffering

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
I used to be optimistic and inspired by the possibilities of the universe, but now I am disoriented and uncertain about our place within it

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 everything (What about us?) I didn't do it (What about us?) What about nature's worth? (Ooh) It's our planet's womb (What about us?) What about animals? (What about it?) 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?) Ravaging the seas? (What about us?) What about forest trails? (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) Someone tell me why (What about us?) What about baby boy? (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) Do we give a damn?
What about every issue affecting our world, from environmental degradation and animal exploitation to war and human suffering, and our continued inaction in the face of these crises
