Earth (or the Earth) is the third planet from the Sun, and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the world, the Blue Planet, or by its Latin name, Terra.
Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula, and life appeared on its surface within one billion years. The planet is home to millions of species, including humans. Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful solar radiation, permitting life on land. The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist. The planet is expected to continue supporting life for another 500 million to 2.3 billion years.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.

do you think we'll see two thousand, do you think we'll live that long, it wasn't till mankind was born, things started to go wrong, we copulate to populate and the generations flow, the earth is getting weaker, and her heart is beating slow, i feel the earth beneath my feet, but to you it feels like dirt, we poison, we rape it, it took two thousand years of hurt, we fake it, forsake it, progress is always on the take, destroy it or enjoy it, the choice is there for you to make, no solution to evolution, we're genocidal or suicidal, incineration, extermination, exploitation, that's mans creation
Written by Me'Shell and Cato
Let me be the rain
You thirst for
Let me be the sun
That you adore
And let my sweet, sweet ocean
Caress your shore
Let your heart
Search no more
You're my earth
Mmm
Paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet paradise
I say you're my earth
There's no place I'd rather be
Your beauty is surrounding me
For your tears black orchids bloom
Orchids bloom
My soul is fed by you
Fed by you
And water your birth, then death
It's back to dirt
Home, to you
You're my earth
In paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet, sweet paradise
I say you're my earth
Sweet, sweet
Mmm
Sweet, sweet paradise
I searched for you all over the world
Yes, search
Searched for you
All my life
I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life
Life
Mmm
Yeah
Oh I
Mmm
I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life
I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life
Oh I
Listen to my heart speak
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
Morning sun, morning sun
I wait for you
I wait for you
Hmm
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
Morning sun, morning sun
My earth
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you.
Silver washed you stand alone
Smiling your own glow
Moving tides you be my ides and guide me
Oh my psyche.
Bathed in gold the garden sways
Lightly to our song
Moving minds we climb high as Apollo
With our one psyche.
[Chorus]
Now I’m caught
Between these dreams
Of displaced time
And my black holed soul.
Muddy as I face the mob
Digging my own way
Moving fate I’ll make my fate and face the Earth
With my dead psyche.
And so the clock strikes twelve as we find ourselves
In a sphere of a clearing in a navy light
There are no stars, just the bars of a car's headlights
On the leaves in the dead of the night
Silhouette suits step out of the shadows
Into the arena where the cameras roll
See their shoulders strain below the weight of the spades
Stereo plays for a funeral
They say the moon is nearly full
They see their eyes are nearly dry
They know how wonderful, how wonderful it is
To be alive tonight
I leave myself to the earth
To the air
To the ashes
It's my time
It's my design
It's my turn
And I know I won't be loved
Won't be saved
Won't be noticed
Until I learn to love
I hate to learn
To my best beloved I do bequeath
All the anguish and the irony
And all the things we never meant
And those we set out to prevent
I leave myself to the earth
To the air
To the ashes It's my time
It's my design
It's my turn
And I know I won't be loved
Won't be saved
Won't be noticed
Until I learn to love
I hate to learn
This is my early grave
Where I wait for the light to let me in
Here it comes around again
And I say
Let the light shows and the sounds
Of the orchestra begin
My eternal requiem
Earth is my mother, no other my sanctuary
But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary
Give me a castle in the sun
Where rainbows have ends and people are one
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
As the word can be recognized
Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory
But earth is my sorrow, my curses' depository
Give me a table beyond the clouds
Where there's enough food to feed all the crowds
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
As the word can be recognized
Let me hear my other voice
Who guides me now but gives me choice
Tell me where to find the friend
Should He pass this way again
Remember Akka for his sake
The earth is but a snake
To His voice that spake
Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary
But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary
Give me a castle in the sun
Where rainbows have ends and people are one
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
To my people doing time
To my people rest in peace
Y'all ready for the refugee camp?
Introducing Earth, Wind and Fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
No money in my pocket gotta get a no limit
So I became America's most wanted
All I ever wanted was a fancy car
A crib for my mom and a master card
Baby you know how it's in Hollywood
New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
Went from a teen to a young adult
No excuses it ain't my fault
Runaway, we living like runaways
Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth, hit the streets
Where there's heat we afford to beef
Hoping one day we don't have to run away
I didn't want to runaway
But I had to get a way yo

Momma came home from a hard days work
At day time a maid at night time a nurse
Work so hard to make sure we survived living a ghetto paradise
Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
Hoping that darkness brings me light
Praying for that better day where we won't have to runaway
Runaway, we living like runaways
Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth, hit the streets

Narration
Earth, home to well over six billion people.
A most majestic and brilliant sight, when seen through the eyes of peace.
Foreboding, to say the lease when caught in the gears of the machine.
With the world blindfolded by the lust for power, wealth and control.
A perfect game board is laid out for two divine powers, to manipulate the pawns into postion to carry out their conquest for global domination.
For you see, this world has many mysteries, and nothing is ever what it seems to be.
Every action starts with a thought,
Every thought comes from influence,
Every influence has its roots.
Day after day
Time after time
You're paving your own way
And covering me with slime
Satisfying your pride
Carrying the torch of death
You'll be surprised to find
That I'm taking my last fucking breath
That I'm taking my last fucking breath
You never cared for me
Taking everything for free
I will destroy you stone by stone
Until you are left alone
Drowning in your greed
You will feel my curse
Drowning in your greed
You will feel my curse
You will feel my curse
This voice is to all of the nations
This call is for all creations
This voice is to all of the nations
This call is for all creations
I am the soil that feeds
I am the ground that gave you life
But you drill me till I bleed
You cut me with a giant knife
I will bear you till the days
When there is nowhere to hide
I will open my graves
To take you inside
To take you inside
To take you inside
To take you inside
Crying for you
Calling on you to save me
Don't turn your back away
Hoping for you
Craving on you for changes
That bring me life today
You caused a rain that hurts
You're acting like a stranger
Inside your only world
That's why I'm crying to you
I'm calling on you, my baby
To hear my priceless words
Just about the day to look back
On the things that you slay
On the world that you hack
Just about the time to realize
That you've got nothing to say
Baby, behave, we'll make it work [x8]
Are you with me? [x3]
You're not golden
And I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
When really you've only just arrived
I caught first glimmers
In hides and skins
Look who's all grown up
Black swanning about the solar winds
You're gonna lose it all
And find yourself on your knees
So, get a grip and you might
Flow, reverse the great, slow bleed
I've tried patience, but
You always want a war
This house won't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
The cold shoulder
Folded arms and looking up
You've never listened
And carry on careless, regardless
This is not a fire drill and
If we hold any hope
It's harmonic connection
And stereo symbiosis
These legoland empires
Choking out mine now
You're everywhere, everywhere
Multiplying around me, child
A strain on my heart
This rock can't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Baby, behave, we'll make it work [x8]
(Baby, do you love me?)
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh (yeh)
Woah, oh, oh, oh [cont]
You're only what you give back [x5]
Back
Stop this right away
(Baby, behave, we'll make it work) [cont]
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Are you with me? [x3]
You're only what you give back [x5]
Back
(You're not golden
And I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
A bounded sphere of wisdom
Spinning to create the now
Upon it all will wonder who, what, where, and how
Liquid covers most of her features
Sunlight covers one site at a time
Breathes in to keep everything closer
So it's never far away from
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill
Turning out days to guide by
Each with its own display
Some with voltage spinning from the skytop
Some with light in a peaceful way
An appearance second to no other
Such a magnificent face
So broad and full of perspective
Known to everyone as...
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill
Seems Earth could last forever
But for us it's not the same
The neglect to protect the creation
Leaves us little chance to remain
All in all it seems to go around in circles
Like the path followed by the moon
Enhanced by the human evolution
The wisdom of the
I might be at a table
And suddenly I'll catch
A fleeting vision of her crystal seas
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway
Beneath the sun I've never seen
'Cos I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again
The planet earth
My earth
I might be chasing waves of light
Out towards the grim
Where stars are sparse
And the cold of space seeps in
But I might be in a barroom
Drinking menthylated gin
And thinking of places I have been
Yes I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth
My earth
Cast adrift amongst the stars
I float from sun to sun
Dreaming of the world that gave me birth
All the places I have been
Our land is dying
in the hands of their children,
without love, without conscience,
man beats the ground where he lays
And I do not breathe the air that gave me life, I do not feel
soft rain on my skin and all that I had touched,
now is scarred
Its heart shakes
Its blood is lava
There is no flat land, or monsters that leave
a sailor dying, only creatures unable to care
for our future, carelessly traded, born to destroy ...
And I do not breathe the air that gave me life, I do not feel
soft rain on my skin and all that I had touched,
now is scarred
from the corrosive touch of
acid rain the human race created
If you die our time is erased
your voice is the sound of the woods
your breath is life, I will fly
and can't find the ground
your eyes turn to the sunrise
and I'm lost in the depths of your being
If you die our time is erased
your voice is the sound of the woods
Our land is dying
in the hands of their children,
without love, without conscience,
man beats the ground where he lays
And I do not breathe the air that gave me life, I do not feel
soft rain on my skin and all that I had touched,
now is scarred
And all that I had touched
Don't be afraid to feel this way
Gonna make you understand
It's not about you, cause I am the fool
Building castles in the sand
If I am crazy, just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near,
This is the story about me and you
And it's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith !
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
So many times and so many ways
I didn't know just where to go,
You gave me a sign and opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know
That you are different, you're still here
I guess you figured me out right then
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith ! have faith !
So don't be afraid... to feel this way...
Just hear me out!
Stay...
...and that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not too late
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith... In me!
Oh yeah!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
She concealed you from herself
When wells opened their arms
And water flooded the world
Firmament trembled
And she was waiting
For the right time to come
You have inherited ties
And when the sky turn red by blood
You will come down to her
There is lust circulating in your veins
Embrace her
She is the Earth
Death is seed for her
we are feeding the machine
from this inner cage i made your body
be now, but don't stare at me now, I'm nearly gone
but go figure it all, was it worth searching far beyond?
then i will carry on...
gathering space and time
when i am yours and you are mine
this life will carry us away in the glimpse of an eye
the smile on your face today shows in everything you say
that this life will carry us away
but in this realm, i am eternal
scratching the surface
from this inner grave i built you a country
my love, this kingdom's not the one we belong to
but don't be ashamed at all, it was worth hiding for so long
now we are made of stone...
gathering space and time
when i am yours and you are mine
this life will carry us away in the glimpse of an eye
the smile on your face today shows in everything you say
that this life will carry us away
but in this realm, i am eternal
wake up, we listened to the waves
we found the world that could wash away your tears at your will
stand up, we listened to the wind
we found a moment to just slow down and stay still
now lay down and feel our love growing
now that our hearts can beat side by side, now we can believe in ourselves
and what lies beneath
us, the earth, and what lies underneath
gathering space and time
when i am yours and you are mine
this life will carry us away in the glimpse of an eye
the smile on your face today shows in everything you say
that this life will carry us away
but in this realm, i am eternal
i won't say this every time
Goddess you gotta save
The beauty all of this place
All the life for a vivid future
In a dark and empty space
Oh man let's realize
We got to seize the skies
Sex and love in all that turning
From deep to endless high
Oh come on don't tell me brother black is black and white is white
I want you to see other colors, I don't wanna draw a line
Oh come on and trust me sister, make this world a paradise
I don't wanna play your piper, I just wanna free your mind
Goddess you gotta save
The beauty all of this place
Sex and love in all that turning
From deep to endless high
Woman I feel all right
And I see it's all divine
All we are for a billion years now:
Seed of love in endless void
Run, run we gotta save
Come on you people get it on
Live, love and seize the day
We belong to the earth doesn’t belong to us
A giant cloud up in the sky
The things she saw she hardly could spell
Honey, don't stay too long in the sun, said Mom
And Julia doesn't feel well
Waters are dying but they're still blue
Blue as they were when the grass hadn't gone
Picking flowers is something I've never done
Because of radiation
On the day
The day the earth stood still
It's getting dark
So move a little closer
Yesterday
The white powder fell
But the snow didn't melt in the sun
And the summer has gone
A whole new world has gone astray
People seem never to learn
Mistakes that are made steer us into
A corporate grave - genetic alternation
Night after night I keep dreaming
Burned out children won't play anymore
Blown away and the wind takes their ashes ashore
Their final destination
On the day
The day the earth stood still
It's getting dark
So move a little closer
Yesterday
The white powder fell
But the snow didn't melt in the sun
The way that you remember there was nothing to say
So you threw your arms around me, threw your arms around me
Girl you shouldn't think that I've got nowhere to go
But I'll tell you how I felt if you really want to know
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away
Baby when you touch me with that look in your eye
I can feel the air around me, feel the air around me
Close enough to whisper, I got **
I'll wrap the words around you if that can make you see
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away
Baby when you touch me with that look in your eye
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away...
