Hive music festival week 142 Round 1 / Fire on the mountain/ Cover by @joshuabbey

Hello everyone, This is another opportunity in the hive music festival.This is week 142 round round 1, I am @joshuabbey. This is going to be my entry in this competion and so i appreciate everyone who have been working for the success of this project, Kudos to @musiczone who has been guiding us through in our post.

We are back again this week, with another vibe. My presentation this week is a cover song "Fire on the mountain" composed by Asa. This song is a well arranged song with a n intriguing lyrics. The song is talking about situations around the world expecially Africa. Even though we turn our eyes to this occurences, the outcome will be a very serious one. Lets start from ethnic and international warsaround the world, that has made us to loose many of our vibrant youth who could have become great people in life.

We are destroying lives and properties that we built with hard earned money because of conflict and differences in our beliefs. Even though the soldiers are doing their jobs for thats what they were sent to do, protecting their loyalty to their country. There is fire on the mountain, we are wasting those good resources of the most high that made each country stand out from others. Due to bad governance. A man that was elected to rule the country well and made livelihood easier for every citizen, instead of ruling well, they packed everything that belongs to others and turned it to their own personal heritage, causing the masses to suffer for their bad governance... "There is fire on the mountain"

If we look at West Africa now, you will notice that people are ready for revolution, and the military are taking over from the Democratic government. Although revolution can be bloody atimes but if thats the only way out, we dont have choice but to go for it... Without much Ado, lets get to the lyrics:-

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...

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...

(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.

See you again next time. I am @joshuabbey
