Michael Jackson – Earth Song Lyrics
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
[Chorus:]
Ah-ah, Ooh
Ah-ah, 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
[Chorus:]
Ah-ah, Ooh
Ah-ah, Ooh
Ah-ah, Ooh
Ah-ah, Ooh
Hey, what about yesterday?
What about the seas?
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about everything
I didn't do?
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb
What about animals?
Turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants?
Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales?
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 baby boy?
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?
Ah-ah, Ooh
Ah-ah, Ooh
