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
this crying Earth, this weeping shore?
What have we done the world?
Look what we've done.
What about all 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
this crying Earth, this weeping shore?
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.
Earth song, by Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson explained the main inspiration for this song by saying, “I remember writing Earth Song when I was in Austria, in a hotel. And I was feeling so much pain and so much suffering of the plight of the Planet Earth. And for me, this is Earth’s Song, because I think nature is trying so hard to compensate for man’s mismanagement of the Earth”
