EARTH SONG BY MICHAEL JACKSON

Lyrics
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 were 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, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
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
This crying earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
Aah, 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
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can’t even breathe
(What about us)
What about apathy
(What about us)
Drowning in the seas
(What about us)
What about the promised land
Preachin’ what I believe
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
What about the greed
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about baby boy
(What about him)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
Do we give a damn
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh

  1. Sad, Sad
    All the animals are gone.
    Gone the sullied sun.
    What are we going to do now
    When we ate the whole darned cow.

    Perhaps the first world
    Should give the land
    To third world
    And make them our salvation.
    Make them our new great nation.

  2. Eternal World
    A man on the sick bed of seperation,
    A talking earth lies there for a passage.
    His speech is a shooting star from a falling sky–
    Pondering listening ears hard for his depart–
    Invoking tears on bystanders–a gully of feelings.
    His wishes lies on his mortal lip–
    To leave companion frets weaken veins–
    Whose flow of blood has appointed limited time.
    Companions–an onlooker of a passenger.
    All helpless watching him going to an eternal world. #dailywisdomwords

  3. Spiral the change
    Earth is dying to imploring
    To stop this degradation..
    Air pollution to the brim
    Poverty to migration
    Killing animals to deforestation ..
    So much to try n comprehend
    Yet a  realisation to amend..
    Human behaviour yet to be transacted
    This is the war
    We should fight for.

  4. Now I know why William rebelled
    Now I know why he cursed the smoke
    Now I know why he hated the horns
    Now I know why he detested the engine

    He hated them because they would
    One day wreck mother nature
    And cause her to run naked with her children.
    He is dead but his word lives
    #dailywisdomwords.
