Heard this song as a youngster and the words really impacted me. Never thought I would hear it again. The words pertain to many problems of the world today. Haunting song. Thanks for posting!
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"
Lovely song, one of my favs. Back in Jamaica where am from, a young guy got killed by a car, his g/f sang this at his funeral. It touched e1 so much so that even pastor was in tears.
Now i got a request to make of u. If you got this song from the album Heavy, could you also post "DON"T PUT IT DOWN BABY"? I'd appreciate it nuff nuff (as we say in Jamaica...lol).
Well executed, i am putting a cd together, there a few persons in the world that can reproduce Russell Thompkins and Philip Bailey naturally, and i am that person, my name is Laureston Special, i live in Trinidad and Tobago, and when i am through, i will send you a copy. Also i will love to hear them reproduce one of my songs. Special
I am so grateful you posted this. I searched so long for it, a copy of the lyrics....anything! This song actually changed my life's direction over thirty years ago, taking me in a completely new direction. I am deeply indebted to the Stylistics and this profound production.

Thank you for posting this - since I was a toddler my Mom would tell me about this song, and she sang it to me so many nights.
She looked EVERYWHERE for it but could never find it to show me.
I'm sure she'll be thrilled when I show her I've found it! :)
