Track No: 05

There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on a mountaintop
And no one is a' runnin'
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 watchin'
Now I'm lookin' out my window
And what do I see?
I see an army of soldier men
Marchin' across the street, yeah
Hey, Mister Soldier Man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fightin' for another man's guns
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 and kill them?
So
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a' runnin'
Hey, Mister Lover Man
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
'Cause you are foolin' with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do
So you tell 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 somethin' wrong with this?
Tell me
Who's responsible for what we teach our children?
Is it the internet or stars on television?
Why, oh, why?
Why, oh, why?
Oh
Oh, so little Lucy turn sixteen
And like the movies she's been seein'
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 ain't nobody (Nobody seems to be on the run)
Oh there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a' runnin'
Oh, yes
One day, the river will overflow
And there will be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishin' we had put out the fire
Oh, no
For there is fire on the mountain
Yeah, yeah
And there ain't nobody (Nobody seems to be on the run)
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And nobody is a' runnin'
So, yeah, yeah, yeah
There is fire on the mountain (Fire in Africa)
Body seems to be on the run (Oh, fire everywhere in the city, yeah)
Fire on the mountaintop
No one is a' runnin'
Fire, fire, fire, yeah
Nobody's runnin'
