Olive Hill - Yusuf Islam

Once upon a lighting horse

Riding through the universe

Shedding light upon a thousand doors

Time stood still

On the olive hill

On his back the prophet sat

Open-eyed not looking back

'Til they reach the sacred land

Time stood still

On the olive hill

There upon a golden square

All the prophets joined in prayer

And the stars fell silent everywhere

Time stood still

On the olive hill

Then the heavenly ascent

Past the place where no soul went

This one soul was welcomed in

Time stood still

On the olive hill

Then the tale began to spread

Some would say he’s lost his head

But for those who trusted

Light would spill

Around the olive hill
