A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit (e.g. Box Hill, Surrey).
The distinction between a hill and a mountain is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. In the United Kingdom, geographers historically regarded mountains as hills greater than 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, which formed the basis of the plot of the 1995 film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. In contrast, hillwalkers have tended to regard mountains as peaks 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level: the Oxford English Dictionary also suggests a limit of 2,000 feet (610 m) and Whittow states "Some authorities regard eminences above 600 m (2,000 ft) as mountains, those below being referred to as hills." The Great Soviet Encyclopedia defines hill as an upland with a relative height up to 200 m (660 ft).
Hill is a surname of English origin, meaning "a person who lived on a hill", or derived from the Greek or Latin name Hilary or Hillary. It is the 36th most common surname in England and 37th most common in the United States.
Hill (first name and details unknown) was an English cricketer who played for pre-county club Sussex. He made a single first-class appearance for the team, against 1825, against pre-county club Hampshire.
Batting as an opener, Hill scored 6 runs in the first innings, and 1 run in the second.

Genres: Comedy, Drama,I hold my head up, I
I look to the sky
Is there a heaven?
Is this my life?
And I wonder where I'm going
I wonder if it's right
What's the point of knowing
If it's all a big surprise?
Bridge:
I wish, I might
I read the signs
Make the most of time
Chorus:
Stay in the middle
Don't get pushed to the side
Every chance that's worth taking
Is a chance worth the fight
Stay in the middle
And take it in stride
Don't let it go by
Closed door's the question
And the answer is the key
To what we long for
To what we want to be
And it's not about the winning
It's not about the prize
It's finding out the meaning
Of the laughter and the cries
Bridge
Chorus
Don't let it go by
When it's in your hands
The chances you take
Lead to where you now stand
