Intro:     

            
   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?

Chorus: 
                                      
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah aah aah aah, aah
                                   
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh

              
   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

Chorus

              
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

Chorus
