Asa - Fire On The Mountain lyrics

Chorus

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-running

Verse 1

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

Marching across the street

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 your conscience and reason

Could it be love for your country

Or for the gun you use in killing

Repeat chorus

Verse 2

He 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’s 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 o why o Why o why o

So little Lucy turns sixteen

And like the movies she’s been seeing

She has a lover in her daddy

She can’t tell nobody

Till she makes the evening news

Repeat chorus

Bridge

One day the river will over flow

And there’ll be nowhere for us to go

And we will run, run

Wishing we had put out the fire

Repeat chorus till fade
