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?
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?
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
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
What about us
It’s our planet’s womb
What about us
What about animals
What about us
We’ve turned kingdoms into dust
What about us
What about elephants
What about us
Have we lost their trust
What about crying whales
What about us
We’re ravaging the seas
What about us
What about forest trails
What about us
Burnt despite our pleas
What about us
What about the holy land
What about us
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
Someone tell me why!
