Planet Earth / Earth Song

Planet Earth, my home, my place

A capricious anomaly in this sea of space

Planet Earth, are you just floating by?

A cloud of dust, do you care?

Have you a part in the deepest emotions of my own heart?

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole

Alive with music, haunting my soul

Planet Earth, gentle in bloom

With all my heart I love you

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 shed before?

Did you ever stop to notice this crying Earth, this weeping shore?

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

What about yesterday? (What about us?)

What about the sea?  (What about us?)

The heavens are falling down (What about us?)

I can't even feel (What about us?)

What about apathy? (What about us?)

I need you (What about us?)

What about natures worth?

It's our planets womb (What about us?)

What about holy land? (What about it?)

Torn up by greed (What about us?)

What about the common man (What about us?)

Can we set them free? (What about us?)

What about children then? (What about us?)

Can you hear them cry? (What about us?)

Where did we go wrong?

Someone tell me why (What about us?)

What about my baby boy? (What about him?)

What about me? (What about us?)

What about all their joy (What about us?)

What about the man (What about us?)

What about the crying man? (What about us?)

What about everything? (What about us?)

What about death again?

Do we give a damn?
