lyrics

The fire came down from the mountain
The people watched their village go up in flames
And the rain never came

Does anyone know, someone is crying
Is there no concern
There’s so many facing the night, without shelter
And there’s nothing left to burn

Daylight falls on the desert
The stallion is running with a herd
And the birds, circle above

Does anyone know, someone is crying
The men are loading their guns
And the shots keep ringing out, like thunder
And there’s nowhere left to run

The sun is falling in the ocean
Turning the sand into pearls
And the girl watches alone

No one knows she is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and moves into the sunset
She has walked these shores for years

Does anyone know, someone is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and moves into the sunset
She has walked these shores for years
