Earth Song Lyrics, Michael Jackson

EARTH SONG 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 
The crying Earth the weeping shores? 

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah 

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 
The crying Earth the weeping shores 

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah 

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
