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, these weeping shores? Ah, ooh Ah, ooh What have we've 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, these weeping shores? Ah, ooh Ah, ooh 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 Ah, ooh Ah, ooh Ah, ooh Ah, ooh 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 Africans? (What about us?) I ain't even through (What about us?) What about nature's worth? (Ooh, ooh) It's our planet's womb (What about us?) What about animals? (What about it?) Turned kingdom 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?) Ravaging the seas? (What about us?) What about forest trails? (Ooh, ooh) 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 them 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? (Ooh, ooh) Someone tell me why (What about us?) What about baby boy? (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 about us?) What about death again? (Ooh, ooh) Do we give a damn? Ah, ooh Ah, ooh Ah, ooh

“Earth Song” foi o terceiro single do álbum *HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I*, e sua produção contou com a colaboração de Michael Jackson, David Foster e Bill Bottrell.
A música combina elementos de blues, gospel e ópera, e foi a primeira de Jackson a tratar de forma explícita temas ambientais e de bem‑estar animal.
O videoclipe luxuoso foi filmado em quatro regiões geográficas diferentes, mostrando a destruição e a renascimento da Terra, e acabou recebendo uma indicação ao Grammy em 1997.
“Earth Song” atingiu o top cinco em praticamente todos os países europeus, sendo a melhor venda de Jackson no Reino Unido, embora nunca tenha sido lançada como single nos Estados Unidos.
Durante o seu desempenho nos BRIT Awards de 1996, Jackson foi interrompido quando Jarvis Cocker invadiu o palco, expressando sua discordância com a simbologia da apresentação.
