Aku Ingin Hijau

Cuplikan dari lagu Earth Song – written and composed by Michael Jackson

Dari Album  HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. Tahun 1995.

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?

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

What about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can’t even breathe
What about the bleeding Earth
Can’t we feel its wounds

What about nature’s worth
It’s our planet’s womb

What about animals
We’ve turned kingdoms to dust

What about elephants
Have we lost their trust

What about crying whales
We’re ravaging the seas

What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas

What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed

What about the common man
Can’t we set him free

What about children dying
Can’t you hear them cry

Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why

What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again

Do we give a damn
