Earth Song - Michael Jackson

Earth Song (“Canção da Terra”) é um maravilhoso tributo de Michael Jackson à Natureza. Um verdadeiro legado do maior ídolo Pop da história ao tema da Sustentabilidade. Ninguém é Rei por acaso...
Trata-se do terceiro single do álbum “History: Past, Present and Future – Book I”, que só foi lançado na Europa (novembro de 1995), onde é considerado o seu maior sucesso. Ficou entre os “TOP 5” na Áustria, Bélgica, Noruega, Suécia, Suíça e Espanha. Só no Reino Unido o single vendeu mais de 1,5 milhão de cópias.
Foi filmado em 4 continentes: na Tanzânia, Floresta Amazônica, Croácia e New York.
Será por acaso que o “single” não foi lançado nos E.U.A. - historicamente o maior poluidor do planeta?




A letra:


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, its' weeping shore
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
What have we’ve 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, its' weeping shore
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
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
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
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
(ooo, ooo)
It’s our planet’s womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
Turn kingdom 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)
Ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by greed
(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
(ooo, ooo)
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
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
