Michael Jackson
Earth Song
[Intro]
Ah, oh
Ah, ooh
[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth and weeping shores?
[Chorus]
Ah, oh
[Verse 2]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth and weeping shores?
[Chorus]
Ah, ooh
[Bridge]
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 so far, hey
[Breakdown]
What about yesterday? (What about us?)
What about the seas? (What about us?)
The heavens are falling down (What about us?)
And I can't even breathe (What about us?)
Hey, what about the animals? (What about it?)
We turned kingdoms to dust (What about us?)
Tell me, what about elephants? (What about us?)
Have we lost their trust? Somebody tell me
[Outro]
I used to dream (Mmm, somebody tell me why)
I used to glance beyond the stars (Somebody tell me why)
I used to dream
