Verse
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?
Pre-Chorus
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Verse
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?
Pre-Chorus
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
And now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Coda
Hey, what about yesterday?
What about the seas?
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about apathy?
I need you
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed?
What about the common man?
Can't we set him free?
What about children dying?
Can't you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why
