Earth Song (American Idol Performance)

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 weve shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, its weeping shores?
What have we done to the world?
Look what weve 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, its weeping shores?
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
And now I dont know where we are
Although I know weve drifting far
What about yesterday?
(What about us?)
What about the seas?
(What about us?)
Heavens are falling down
(What about us?)
I cant even breathe
(What about us?)
What about everything?
(What about us?)
I need you
(What about us?)
What about natures worth?
Its our planets womb
(What about us?)
What about the holy land?
(What about it?)
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man?
Cant we set him free?
What about children dying?
Cant you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why
