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 ) shore?
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 ) shore?
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?
Heavens are falling down
I can't even (breathe)
What about (apathy )?
I need you
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's (womb )
What about animals?
Turned kingdoms to dust?
What about elephants?
Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales
(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 baby boy?
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 )!
