On the abandoned hill
Looking below to my home
The rains have failed us again
From above the hot air rises
Taking with it the little dew
That hang on the leaf

That there ever sat on the plains
A time that quenched my people
Then the earth cracked
In a zigzag pun
And the red volcano rose too
The leaf burned
And slowly sank in the crack
Before the only life gave in
The earth was no more as we knew it
Just me standing here
On the dusty hill
That you all cherished
And crowned
