Ici les sons décrivent encore
la nature.

PREMIÈRE PARTIE
COUPLET 1
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
COUPLET 2
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 killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
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 blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping
shores?

Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

DEUXIÈME PARTIE
Gospel : Questions /Réponses
Superposé au Refrain
Hey,
(What about us)
(What about us)
what about yesterday
What about animals
What about the holy land
(What about us)
(What about it)
(What about it)
What about the seas
We've turned kingdoms to dust
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
(What about us)
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
What about elephants
What about the common man
(What about us)
(What about us)
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
Have we lost their trust
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
(What about us)
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
What about crying whales
What about children dying
(What about us)
(What about us)
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
We're ravaging the seas
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
(What about us)
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
What about forest trails
Where did we go wrong
(ooo,ooo)
(ooo, ooo)
(ooo, ooo)
It's our planet's womb
Burnt despite our pleas
Someone tell me why
Aaaaaaaaaaaah OUouououououououououh
(What about us)
What about babie boys
(What about it)
What about the days
(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 Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
