Earth Song Lyrics - Michael Jackson
Review The Song (56)
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?
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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 these weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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 need you
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo, ooo)
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
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by greed
(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
(ooo, ooo)
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 was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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?
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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 these weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
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
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaah oooooooooo

eternal | Reviewer: rabee.r | 5/7/13
A song that gifted from him to all those who loves this planet. This song fulfills my body mind and soul. He is a man of Gods gift. His efforts and full pledged dedication may now appreciated in the court of God. RIP. Proud to be fan of u.
Unlike any other singer/bands | Reviewer: Reyasem | 3/25/13
We all know some singer/bands whose epicness only lies in their first/second albums while the rest were just some junk they desperately put to make money.
MJ is not like that. Not even close. Even his last songs are truly epic...
Talented Performer | Reviewer: Jefedelmundo | 3/16/13
MJ is certainly one of the most talented artists and entertainers ever. I have nothing but respect for MJ's work. Let us all recognize the good that he has done. As to his personal life, only One should and will stand in judgement of MJ and all of us. We should all look to deal with our own issues before attempting to judge another. From the comments I read here, it is evident that many are searching for something or someone to worship. While earth preservation and everything in or on it is a worthy and lofty goal, and recognizing MJ for his message and talents is also commendable, we must recognize that he is only a man; no more-no less. God, our Heavenly Father's purposes will roll forth. The earth as we know it now will come to an end. But the earth, like us, God's children, will go on with life after death. "As in Adam all die but as Christ overcame death, so shall we live again. We need to put our faith and trust in Christ; come to know and understand His teachings, His doctrines. As we do, we will find peace and joy in life no matter what ultimately transpires to the earth or to us living on the earth. God's purposes, which may be difficult for many to understand with limited logic, will roll forth and ultimately for our own good I might add.
From his heart to our hearts | Reviewer: Linda Jackson | 11/16/12
I have to say that he was accused of some horrible things and if ppl payed close attention to what was said none of it made any sense and noone should be put in that situation. This song is true and he wanted to make us aware. I love him like a brother always will! look on line at "When michael left sony" u will see the true man he was!
Perfect! | Reviewer: Johanne | 10/29/12
Omg I love this song, the way he sings.... And to the haters, I can only say fuck you! He didn't raped any child, it wasn't true, he had such an awful childhood himself, you really think he would lay a finger on a child? He adores them! It's so crazy that he became that man as adult, the greatest guy! He didn't want to be white, he's proud of his colour, he had vitiligo, that poor man. It made him allergic to the sun, and it almost made him white. People judge him so bad, why? There is nothing to judge him for! Michael, you live forever in your music, and our hearts. I love and support you, and god damn I miss you, rest in peace. You are not alone.
Michael Jackson always will be the BEST!!! | Reviewer: Dee | 10/26/12
The best song ever written. Michael was and will always be the BEST! Those people who talk bad about him must really love him because they spend all their time reading all the info. on the internet and magazines about him.
I love and miss you Michael!!! Always and Forever!!!
Heart wrenching...... epic classic | Reviewer: Woman In The Mirror | 7/13/12

he was a great singer and dancer i'd liked al his songs and he an inspirationof remo d'soza,he was awsome and great he was having his own place in all of our heart........

"What about us?" is the most important question | Reviewer: Aaron Young | 3/18/11
I love michael jackson. He's the greatest entertainer, and he's alot genius. But he try to help people to stop the negative. Also, we have to ask people "What about us?" because in the world today, people don't even care about people, and don't take care the planet. But some people say "In 2012, the world's going to end", but I don't believe it. That's what the song is all about! When the world ends. This one of my favorites!
Song of Earth | Reviewer: Nasim | 3/1/11
I've never seen a singer or a musician that sing from bottom of his heart for earth and world ! why you fool yourself with this words ?! all know that in many of his songs , he sings about earth and world and nature and children and future of our world ! he really was worried about them ! He was a real human as I've seen in my life in the world ! and no one can be more than him ...
Thank you Prince for this comment and share your idea about your wonderful daddy with us ... we are always with you and your sis and your brother ... as we stand by your daddy ! I love you all ! God bless you all ... I love you Michael !
