Someone Is Crying
[Verse 1]
The fire came down from the mountain
The people watched their village go up in flames
And the rain never came

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Daylight falls on the desert
The stallion is running with a herd
And the birds, circled above

[Chorus]
Does anyone know, someone is crying
Thеir men are loading their guns
And thе shots keep ringing out, like thunder
And there’s no where left to run

[Verse 3]
The sun is falling in the ocean
Turning the sand into pearls
And the girl watches alone
[Chorus]
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 weeks

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Does anyone know, someone is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and goes into the sunsets
She has walked these shores for years
