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 were 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 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 apathy (What about us) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us) What about the holy land (What about it) Torn apart by creed (What about us)
Where did we go wrong (Oo, oo) Someone tell me why (What about us)
What about babies (What about it) What about the days (What about us) What about all their joy Do we give a damn
