Original lyrics
This Mountain This is not an age of faith This is not an age of miracles We dont believe anything they say We dont believe anything at all But when December grabs you by the throat Better look for something burning deep inside your coat CHORUS: From the top of this mountain I can see Canaan The blue of the vineyard And the gold of the grain Right across that river Candles flicker If I didnt know better Id call it a dream The walls of Jericho And the walls of Jerusalem Came tumbling down long ago And they never got built again Children in the rubble where the rocks and bullets whine Old soldiers in the garden, shaking hands like its a crime CHORUS In the eyeless streets of Gaza, In the shadow of the Golan Heights In the fortress of Masada, Through centuries of night One light was always burning Even when the fuel was gone One light was always burning and the light burns on CHORUS ) 1995 Hugh Blumenfeld/Hydrogen Jukebox Music
Translated lyrics
Notes
A peace song combining imagery of Hanukkah (a light that burns by faith alone) & Pesach (looking across to a promised land we may not live to see) - from the CD "Mozart's Money" http:www.hughblumenfeld.com
