HILLS’ OF FIRE
Keith Garrett
Look to the sky, watch as the smoke rises high above,
Beauty disappears as the heat consumes what was green.
Ignorance or wind destroys god’s masterpiece created,
A fool is a man who can’t see the gift put in front of him.
See the hills of fire, watch as the animals run, see their fear,
See all that can be seen through eyes of pain, of sorrow.
Hills of fire burn no more, fire of death be rained down upon,
Let life reappear, let the colors so bright be a sight.
Hills of fire and death, open your eyes, do you see,
Hills of pain, hills of sorrow, open your eyes, do you see.
Hills of beauty and laughter, open your eyes, do you see,
Hills of breath, hills of darkness, open your eyes, do you see.
Hills of danger and mistrust, open your eyes, do you see,
The glow in the sky, a scar for all to see.
Hills of eternity and life, open your eyes, do you see,
Hills of slumber, hills of strength, open your eyes, do you.
Take these hills of fire away, never again, there’s a price you pay.
There many fools. Always amazes me how much fear drives people, and therfore public policy.
Thanks for reading.
