Earth song

Keď som dnes ráno čakala na letisku, v rádiu púšťali iba samé piesne od Michaela Jacksona. Nevedela som prečo. Dozvedela som sa to až neskôr. "Mišo od Jacksona", ako ho nazval Luky, nepatril medzi mojich extra obľúbených spevákov, avšak uznávala som to, že bol veľmi nadaný spevák, čo vkladal do piesní celé svoje srdce, že bol excelentný tanečník so svojským originálnym štýlom; i keď kontroverzný, čo navystrájal kadejaké pestvá. Rozhodne jedna z najvýznamnejších osobností svetovej hudobnej scény. Túto pieseň som plánovala dať už dlhšie, a teraz sa naskytla príležitosť - na rozlúčku. Možno sa niekomu bude zdať príliš patetická, ale rozhodne je to jedna z najsilnejších Michaelových piesní. Earth song:



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 shores?

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 shores

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


Hey, 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)
I need you
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about baby boy
(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 about us)
What about death again
Do we give a damn
