[Verse 1]
High on the mountain, a light is burning
So free and also so bright
The father takes the little boy
But he does not move
High on the mountain, a light is burning
The path to get there is long
Everything in life needs its day
And also the right time
[Chorus]
Father, you, the barn is on fire
There's no one to put it out
Let's just light a candle
And let's watch it burn
[Verse 2]
High on the mountain, a light is burning
It burns all the things
The little boy gets terribly cold
He is already starting to laugh
The father takes the little boy
And takes him to the stream
He covers his eyes
And looks after him sadly
[Chorus]
Father, you, the barn is on fire
There's no one to put it out
Let's just light a candle
And let's watch it burn
Father, you, the barn is on fire
There's no one to put it out
Let's just light a candle
And let's watch it burn
