Asa - Fire On The Mountain Lyrics

There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is running

I wake up in the morning
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child
And everybody's watching

Now I'm looking out my window
And what do I see
I see an army of a soldier man
Matching across the street, yeah

Hey, Mr. Soldier man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another man's cause
And you don't even know him

What did he say to make you so blind?
To you conscience and reason
Could it be love for your country
Or for the gun you use in killing?

So there is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is a runnin'

Hey, Mr. Lover man
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
'Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do

So you say you have a lover
And you love her like no other
So you buy her a diamond that someone has died on
Don't you think there something wrong with this?

Tell me who's responsible
For what we teach our children
Is it the Internet or the stars on television?
Why? Oh why? Why? Oh, Why? Oh

So little Lucy turns sixteen
And like the movie she's been seeing
She has a lover in her daddy
She can't tell nobody till she makes the evening news

For there is fire on the mountain
And there is nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is a runnin', oh yes

One day the river will over flow
And there'll be no where for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire, oh

For there is fire on the mountain, yeah, yeah
And there ain't nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is a runnin', so, yeah, yeah, yeah

There is fire on the mountain
Nobody seems to be on the run
Fire on the mountain top
No one is a runnin'

Fire on the mountain
Nobody seems to be on the run
Fire on the mountain
