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


                                                                  Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

                                                                                                            

                                                                                                         
           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


                                                     Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah


                                                                                                    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

                                                                                                            

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah


                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                            


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 the bleeding Earth
                                    (What about us)
                                  Can't we feel its wounds
                                       (What about us)
                                   What about nature's worth
                                        (ooo,ooo)
                                      It's our planet's womb
                                           (What 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
                                          (ooo, ooo)
                                   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
                                                                                                                      (ooo, ooo)
                                                                                                             Someone tell me why
                                                                                                               (What about us)                                                                                 What about babies
                  (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 was us)

                          What about death again
                                      (ooo, ooo)
                                  Do we give a damn
