    My brother was working out in Malawi and came back home insisting that we listen to this song. He felt so strongly about what Asa was singing about in this song. He died a few years later... we're now in 2020 facing this pandemic and my mum said the other day that my brother and I guess Asa was trying to tell us something. There is Fire on the mountain. And no one is running. Most people in my neighbourhood aren't taking this virus seriously. Even though people are contracting and dying all around us.

    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.
    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 are
    Marching across the street
    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 a running.
    Hey, Mister 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. Oh
    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

    This song came to my mind this morning (3rd October 2022) after seeing Tinubu cycling on Twitter and Atiku dancing on TikTok and some gullible ones applauding them online 😏
    There is fire on the mountain and Thank God many Nigerians are aware and AWAKE!
    It's Nigerian's time!
