Descripción

Canción de la tierra, es uno de las canciones de Michael Jackson que aparece en el álbum, History: Past, Present and Future, Book I . Esta canción es la quinta canción del segundo disco del álbum. Esta canción fue escrita por Michael Jackson.

El vídeo musical muestra la devastación de la Tierra por el hombre; guerras devastadoras como la de Yugoslavia en los noventa, la pobreza en distintas tribus, matanzas indiscriminadas de animales por el hombre, el calentamiento global, y cómo el hombre acaba con la naturaleza. Al final del vídeo, se muestra como si una especie de huracán y terremoto cubriesen e hiciesen temblar la Tierra e hiciera dar marcha atrás a todas estas calamidades.

Letra

Tema en inglés

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 The crying Earth the weeping shores? Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah 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 The crying Earth the 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 Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah 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 the bleeding Earth (What about us) Can’t we feel its wounds (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) 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 (ooo, ooo) 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 (ooo, ooo) Someone tell me why (What about us) What about babies (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
