Song Lyrics

It was midnight on the mountain
It was stormy
It was cold inside the cave
I was hiding from the world and I was lonely
And afraid, and afraid

There was a thunder on the mountain
There was lighting from the angry skies above
Just as if the Lord was saying to the people
Where is love, where is love

From the mountain, from the mountain
He was asking "Where is love?
What has happened to my children?
Have they turned away from me?"

From the mountain, from the mountain
He was asking "Where is love?
Why is brother kill in brother?
That was never meant to be
You have poisoned ev'ry river ev'ry tree
I see a land of hunger
Where once the earth was green"

It was morning on the mountain
He said "Now the time had come for us to part,
You must go down from the mountain
Tell the people, they broke my heart"
You must go down from the mountain
Tell the people, they broke my heart"

Hugo, Luigi, George David Weiss
