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
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

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
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah

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

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah

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 the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

    happy earth day everyone! throw away your trash, recycle, love.

    i'll be blasting this beauty [the song] from my car all day. the message is very important. i wish people would actually listen to it as opposed to just hearing it.

    maybe we'll get something big today? cause you know...michael loves the earth, everything and everyone in it. wishful thinking....

    thanks for the post.

    First thing that jumped out at me... Happy Earth Day! Of course! How fitting to have the Earth Song lyrics.

    Second thing... I thought it was perfect how out of all the lyric sites out there, they chose Lyrics 007! <!-- s;-) -->;-)<!-- s;-) -->

    So now to saving the planet...

    It's all nice to say we need to turn out lights, recycle, etc. to save the planet, and don't get me wrong... we need to do these things. However, we need to get to the root of the matter. I'll use an anology....

    If someone whom you love deeply gives you a gift, would you trash it or would you take care of it?

    If someone whom you don't know or don't care about gives you a gift, would you take care of that gift or not give a damn?

    God has given us the gift of this planet. It is getting destroyed because people are not caring for the gift because of their love for the Creator.

    The REAL solution is simple. Bring back God into the lives of every man, woman, and child... God is LOVE. We must bring back LOVE! Love God, love eachother, and follow His commandments. When we do this, not only will the people be healed, so will the planet, because they will want to care for such a precious gift.

    Remember everyone... IT'S ALL FOR LOVE... L.O.V.E.

    I agree with you completely, although I am not a religious person, I am extremely spiritual and very much feel the power of love and that all living things are connected through it. Forgiveness is the most important thing, for ourselves and each other. Love can heal our world as long as we trust and connect with it. We all originated from love and we can return to this blissful state once we open up to it and each other. Earth song is such a powerful song in every way and humanity needs to feel it and take personal responsibility for our own destiny. If we all do this in our own lives and surroundings then our world will heal, piece by piece by piece. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

    Happy Earth Day everyone. We can all help to make our planet a better place. If we all do one small thing, that helps too. One Love.

    "Earth Song" is my favorite song from the lyrics of Michael Jackson!
    It has an evocative charge very intense and desperate...
    Storm, wind, animals killed, wars and fire send anguish and torment...
    It almost seems to enter into the video that tell the catastrophe...
    The image of Michael clinging to the remains of a burnt tree while screaming his pain is extraordinarily touching! <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: -->

    Last night I thought that the redirection of today could be this.

    We have down the cross Earth and resuscitate it, so there is a precious document that we can inspire: "Earth Charter", the Earth Charter was born of the global civil society, involved in its production to over 100,000 people in 46 countries and was taken over in 2003 by UNESCO as an educational tool and ethical for sustainable development, reference participated actively in its conception several world leaders, the letter defends life as with Earth and as our home has specific guidelines that can save her, taking care with understanding, with passion and love, as it is to be affectionately with our great mother.

    Hopefully one day this Earth Charter can be presented, discussed, enriched by all UN Member States and if approved we have an official document on the dignity of mother earth. To feel the Earth as mother isn't sufficient reason dominant is functional, instrumental, we need to enrich it with warm, emotional and sensitive reason where link the deep feeling, where the values are developed essential care, compassion and dreams that we inspire actions connotations. Our mission throughout the beings is to be the guardians, caregivers of this sacred inheritance received from the universe.


    As the Earth cannot continue, we must change our minds, our hearts, our mode of production and consumption if we are to have a future and hope, the solution for the Earth we will not fall from the sky, but it will be the result of a coalition of forces will environment to a comprehensive ecological awareness, ethical values, a humanistic purposes and a new feeling of being, only thus achieve our common home, the Earth our great and generous mother.

    We need to heal the world from pollution, deforestation, hatred, poverty, injustice to make it a better place for everyone. Thank you Michael for all you have done and all you are still doing. You're not alone, you are our inspiration. God bless you.
