Benjamin Mays - Alone on a Mountaintop Lyrics

Alone on a mountaintop just looking for a Fire
How was I so numb that I could not feel the heat
Oh, my own two eyes are all that I require
How was I so blind that I could not see
Oh the flames, oh the flames, but I feel no shame

I let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
I let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
I let the valley burn, but I left my heart down there
I let the valley burn, but I left my heart down there

Well God said that He'd never flood the earth
But He never said a word about letting everything burn
I think a Fire's The farthest thing from a flood
So, feel the heat let it boil your blood
And I think it's time
I think it's time
We let the ashes fall all over me
Why's it a crime
Why's it a crime
To burn down what's left of Calvary
And I think it's time
I think it's time

We let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
We let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
I let the valley burn, but I left my heart down there
I let the valley burn, don't leave your heart down there

Alone on a mountaintop just looking for revival
How was I so dumb that I could not believe
Well I've read every single word inside the Bible
But I think that God's more about tranquility
Oh the flames, of the flames, of Hell won't get to me

I let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
I let the valley burn, burn, burn, burn
I let the valley burn, but I left my heart down there
I let the valley burn, don't leave your heart down there
