Some people ar orewis tan so ould credit

The called him

The lonely one

the man who lived on a hill,

some said he was the fool

who watched the world

go by,

yet he saw their troubles

passing by.

Every day he would watch

never said a word

just stood on the hill

but he heard.

As the sun went down

all their lives caused him pain

they thought he did not care

from a fool they would not gain,

so they left him on the hill

and their lives

went floating past

yet they returned to nothing

became chaff as dust

all their hopes were lost,

and the fool on the hill

he never changed

he sits there still

he still remains.
