Asa - Fire On The Mountain

Asa nació en Francia, de padres nigerianos, y se crió en Lagos. Este tema suyo me ha atrapado. Por su melodía y por su letra. Hay tantos fuegos en las montañas...

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'ah 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 of my window,
and what do I see ?
I see an army of soldiers that're
marching across the street, heh...

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 they 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 ? 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'ah running.

Heh, Mister Loverman !
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. Oh... *So you say you have a lover And you love her like know 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 o why o

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 nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is'ah running. Oh yes.

One day the river will overflow,
and there'll be nowhere for us to go ;
and we will run, run...
wishing we had put out the fire, oh no...
