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?

(bridge)

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

(bridge)

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

(bridge 2x)

Hey, what about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe

What about everything
I have given you
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb

What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants
Have we lost their trust

What about crying whales
We're 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 them free

What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why

What about babies, boy
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the men
