Introduction

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 mineDid you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shoresAh, ooh
Ah, oohWhat have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only sonWhat about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mineDid you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shoresAh, ooh
Ah, oohI used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted farAh, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, oohHey, 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
