Michael Jackson
Earth Song

[Intro]
Ooh
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
The crying Earth, the weeping shore?

[Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[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
The crying Earth, the weeping shore?

[Chorus]
Ah
Ooh
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 far

[Chorus]
Ah
Ooh
Ah
Ooh
Ah
Ooh
Ah
Ooh
[Breakdown]
(Ooh) What about yesterday? (What about us?)
What about the seas? (What about us?)
(Ooh) Heavens are falling down (What about us?)
I can't even breathe (What about us?)
(Ooh) What about the bleeding Earth? (What about us?)
Can’t we feel its wounds? (What about us?)
(Ooh) What about nature’s worth? (What about us?)
It's our planet's womb
(Ooh) What about animals? (What about us?)
Kingdoms turned to dust (What about us?)
(Ooh) What about elephants? (What about us?)
Have we lost their trust? (What about us?)
(Ooh) What about crying whales? (What about us?)
Ravaging the seas? (What about us?)

[Outro]
(Ooh) What about forest trails? (What about us?)
Burnt despite our pleas
(Ooh) What about the holy land?
Torn apart by greed?
(Ooh) What about the common man?
Can't we set him free?
(Ooh) What about children dying?
Can't you hear them cry?
(Ooh) Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
