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

This crying Earth this weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh (x2)

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 this weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh (x2)

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

Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh (x4)

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)

I ain't even though! (What about us)

What about nature's worth (Oooooo)

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 (Oooooo)

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 (Oooooo)

Someone tell me why (What about us)

What about baby boys (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 (Oooooo)

Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh (x2)
