Song 6: Earth Song (Extended Epic Orchestral Mix)

[Intro - 1:00](Sounds of birds, wind, and a distant rainforest. A soft piano melody begins. Michael hums mournfully. "What about us...")[Verse 1]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?[Verse 2]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?[Chorus](Heavy drums enter)Aaaaaaaaah-ooooooooh!Aaaaaaaaah-ooooooooh![Verse 3]What have we done to the world? Look what we've doneWhat 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?[Instrumental Break - 1:30](Grand orchestral swell. Dramatic violin solo building tension. Sudden silence, then a heavy rock beat kicks in with a deep bass.)[Bridge - The Call and Response](Michael starts shouting with raw emotion)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!)[Climax - Vocal Power]What about apathy? (What about us!)I need you! (What about us!)What about nature's worth? (It's our planet's womb!)What about animals? (We've turned kingdoms to dust!)[Chorus - Grand Finale with Choir](Full Gospel Choir joining in)Aaaaaaaaah-ooooooooh!Aaaaaaaaah-ooooooooh!(Michael ad-libs: "Do we give a damn?!", "Hee-hee!")[Outro - 1:30](The music slowly strips back to just the choir and the sound of wind. Michael whispers "What about us?" repeatedly. Fading into the sounds of the rainforest once again.)
