Fire On The Mountain Lyrics
Aṣa
Lyrics
they're is fire to mountain
and nobody seem to be on the round
oh they is fire to mountain top and no one is around it.
I wake up in the morning
Share you what i see on y Tv scream
I see the blood of the innocent child
and everybody's watching
Now i looking on my window
and what do i see
I see an army of a soldier man
marching accross the street
Hey
Hey, mister soldier man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
but you are far from an other man gun
and you never know him ouh
What did you say to make you so born
to your conscious and your reason
Could it be love for your country or for the gun you use to kill them so
They is fire for the mountain
and nobody seems to be on the round
oh they is fire to mountain top and no one is around it.
Hey mister Lover man
Can I have a chance to talk to you
Cause you are fooling with the dead mens corpse
and you don't know what you do
so you tell you were the lover
and you never like the order
So you found here
the time to make someone died
So Tell me
how is responsible for what you teach our children
is it the internet or stations television
Why oh why
why oh why
So little Lucy turn sixteen
and Like a movie she's been seing
She has a lover in her dady
She can't tell nobody till
She makes the evening news
They is fire for the mountain
and nobody seems to be on the round
oh they is fire to mountain top and no one is around it.
oh yes
One day the river will overflow
and there will be nowhere for us to go
and we will run run
wishing we had put out the fire, oh no
They is fire for the mountain
and nobody seems to be on the round
oh they is fire to mountain top and no one is around it.
yeah, yeah
They is fire for the mountain (fire in Africa oh oh)
and nobody seems to be on the round (everywhere in the city)
oh they is fire to mountain top and no one is around it.
fire fire
