Lyrics

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 these weeping shores
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
What have we've 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 these weeping shores
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
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
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
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 Africans
What about us
I ain't even through
What about us
What about nature's worth
Ooh
It's our planet's womb
What about us
What about animals
What about it
Turned kingdom 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
Ravaging the seas
What about us
What about forest trails
Ooh
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 them 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
Ooh
Someone tell me why
What about us
What about baby boy
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 about us
What about death again
Ooh
Do we give a d**n
Ah ooh
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ah ooh
Hee hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ah ooh
