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.
Hey, what about yesterday?
What about the seas?
The heavens are falling down.
I can't even breathe.
What about the bleeding Earth?
Can't we feel its wounds?
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
Burnt despite our pleas?
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed?
What about the common man,
Can't we set him free?
What about children dying,
Can't you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why.
What about babies?
What about the days?
What about all their joy?
What about the man?
What about the crying man?
What about Abraham?
What about death again?
Do we give a damn?
