Fickle Friday: Earth Song

LISTEN TO THE 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 us
