TEXTO

 

The Earth Song (Michael Jackson)

 

What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain?
(…)
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?
(…)
Hey, what about yesterday?
(What about us?)
What about the seas?
(What about us?)
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about apathy?
I need you
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb
What about animals?
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants?
Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales?
We're ravaging the seas
What about forest trails?
(Ooh)
(What about us?)
(…)
