the 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 Earth the 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 was 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
Although I know we've drifted far


Hey, 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 kingdoms to dust

What about elephants

Have we lost their trust

What about crying whales

We're ravaging the seas

What about forest trails

Burnt despite our pleas

What about the holy land

Torn apart by creed

What about the common man

Can't we set him free

What about children dying

Can't you hear them cry

Where did we go wrong

Someone tell me why

What about babies

What about the days

What about all their joy

What about the man

What about the crying man

What about Abraham

What about death again

Do we give a damn
