behind the hill the sun has breached the sky
time does not halt for any old desire
there's more to see than fits into the eye
nothing prevents the one who has to try
nor are there barriers if you aspire
behind the hill the sun has breached the sky
none hears the sufferers when they must cry
but fall to silence when appears the choir
there's more to see than fits into the eye
there's no time to complain nor to decry
the causes of such swiftly rising ire
behind the hill the sun has breached the sky
nothing we see was made to ease us by
together all the forces must conspire
there's more to see than fits into the eye
against the law we tell the ugly lie
there's none but has to go into the fire
behind the hill the sun has breached the sky
there's more to see than fits into the eye
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
