Song 6 (cut from Fire on the Mountain by Asa)

For there is fire on the mountain

And there is 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'll be nowhere 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

Nobody, nobody, oh!

Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop

And no one is a-runnin', so, yeah, yeah, yeah

There is fire on the mountain (fire in Africa, oh)

Nobody seems to be on the run

(Fire everywhere, everywhere in the sea, yeah!)

Fire on the mountaintop (fire in the ocean, la-da!)

No one is a-runnin'

Fire on the mountain (fire, fire, fire, yeah)

Nobody seems to be on the run (nobody)
