Earth Song Songtext
von Michael Jackson

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 this notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh

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, these weeping shores?

Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah
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 drifted far

Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh


Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh

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?)
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?)
Where did we go wrong?
(Ooh, 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?
(Ooh, ooh)
Do they give a damn?

Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
