Here's one of the most expensive music videos in history. A desperate message to the world: What are we doing to the Earth?
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 shore?
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
This crying Earth, this weeping shore?
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah
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
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 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 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?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
The video focuses mainly on environmental issues, but the message is more global than that, it’s about the loss of innocence, the corruption of society, the lack of justice, the exploitation of the weak, the war and evil, and a call to us all: are you going to change?
What are we waiting for to stop injustice? Who is going to do it if it's not us? But the true problem is really inside us, and the solution too. Mind and thoughts can be poison as they can be the way on elevation. We have gone down, we have bring the earth down with us. But I believe, I'd even say... I know that we're awaking, now... a lot of us, we are changing our mind, purifying our mind, and through our inner process of change we are bringing the whole earth on elevation with us!
