Earth Song
Echoes of Humanity: Unveiling Earth's Silent Suffering
Lyrics
What about sunrise?
Questioning the significance of sunrise
What about rain?
Raising the question about the importance of rain
What about all the things
Asking about the value of various things
That you said we were to gain?
Questioning promises and gains that were supposed to be achieved
What about killing fields? Is there a time?
Raising awareness about killing fields and the concept of time
What about all the things
Questioning ownership and shared responsibility
That you said were yours and mine?
Challenging claims of possession and partnership
Did you ever stop to notice
Encouraging observation of past bloodshed
All the blood we've shed before?
Reflecting on the violence and suffering in the past
Did you ever stop to notice
Asking if there was ever a pause to acknowledge previous conflicts
This crying Earth, this weeping shore?
Describing the Earth as crying and the shore as weeping
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition for emphasis and emotional impact
What have we done to the world? Look what we've done
Expressing concern about the impact on the world
What about all the peace
Raising questions about broken promises of peace
That you pledge your only son?
Questioning the commitment to peace, referencing a son
What about flowering fields?
Asking about the fate of beautiful landscapes
Is there a time?
Questioning the existence of an appropriate time
What about all the dreams
Challenging the realization of shared dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Raising questions about collective ownership of dreams
Did you ever stop to notice
Encouraging observation of children dead from war
All the children dead from war?
Asking if there was ever a pause to notice the impact on children
Did you ever stop to notice
Describing the Earth and shores as crying and weeping
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional state of the Earth
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition for emphasis and emotional resonance
I used to dream
Sharing past dreams of looking beyond the stars
I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the present and the distance from the past
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition for emphasis and emotional impact
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition for emphasis and emotional resonance
What about yesterday? (What about us?)
Questioning the significance of yesterday
What about the seas? (What about us?)
Raising questions about the condition of seas
What about happiness (What about us?)
Asking about the existence of happiness
I can't even breathe (What about us?)
Expressing difficulty in breathing, symbolizing struggle
What about everything? (What about us?)
Raising questions about all aspects of life
All the raging seas
Referring to turbulent seas as a metaphor for challenges
(What about us?) What about our lives I can't even breath
Repetition emphasizing the struggle for life
What about us
Directly questioning "us" about the concerns raised
What about it
Raising the question again for emphasis
What about us
Repetition of the question about "us"
What about us
Further repetition for emphasis and impact
What about us
Continued repetition for emotional resonance
What about us
Repetition for persistent emphasis on the concerns
What about us oooooo..... What about us What about it
Repetition and elongation for emotional effect
What about us What about us What about us What about us What about us Ooooooo.....
Final repetition with extended emphasis on the questions raised
