Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you
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
Oooooooooh
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
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 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 damn?
Aaaaaaaaah (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Oooooooooh (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Aaaaaaaaah (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Oooooooooh
