I Stood Up On a Hill

I stood up on a hill
Looking down upon the field
At the bodies of those killed
So much blood now has been spilled

When will they come and take them away
Tears of pain flow on another day
So we ask ourselves in spite of this
Who’s to blame and what did we miss
There’s no rest for the weary no peace for the teary
No one left to speak the truth no one left to teach the youth

How long will it last
Can we learn from the past
They cry out in despair
Why can’t it all be fair

When will they come and take them away
Tears of pain flow on another day
So we ask ourselves in spite of this
Who’s to blame and what did we miss
There’s no rest for the weary no peace for the teary
No one left to speak the truth No one left to teach the youth

Rolling through the pages
Like a boy that never ages
Rattling of the saber
A hated for thy neighbor

When will they come and take them away
Tears of pain flow on another day
So we ask ourselves in spite of this
Who’s to blame and what did we miss
There’s no rest for the weary no peace for the teary
No one left to speak the truth No one left to teach the youth
