| [00:14.89] |
Did you hear of the city on the hill? |
| [00:18.20] |
Said one old man to the other |
| [00:21.45] |
It once shined bright and it would be shining still |
| [00:25.39] |
But they all started turning on each other |
| [00:28.51] |
. |
| [00:29.20] |
|
| [00:37.60] |
You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow |
| [00:41.17] |
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak |
| [00:44.60] |
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish |
| [00:48.29] |
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak |
| [00:52.23] |
. |
| [00:52.92] |
And one by one, they ran away |
| [00:56.97] |
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind |
| [01:00.54] |
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill |
| [01:07.17] |
The city on the hill |
| [01:08.92] |
. |
| [01:14.54] |
Each one thought that they knew better |
| [01:17.73] |
But they were different by design |
| [01:21.73] |
Instead of standing strong together |
| [01:25.17] |
They let their differences divide |
| [01:28.10] |
. |
| [01:30.04] |
One by one, they ran away |
| [01:33.98] |
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind |
| [01:37.67] |
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill |
| [01:44.17] |
The city on the hill |
| [01:46.04] |
. |
| [01:50.23] |
And the world is searching still |
| [01:53.23] |
. |
| [01:58.48] |
But it was the rhythm of the dancers |
| [02:02.60] |
That gave the poets life |
| [02:05.60] |
It was the spirit of the poets |
| [02:09.23] |
That gave the soldiers strength to fight |
| [02:12.73] |
It was the fire of the young ones |
| [02:16.29] |
It was the wisdom of the old |
| [02:19.79] |
It was the story of the poor man |
| [02:23.42] |
That needed to be told |
| [02:27.42] |
. |
| [02:41.21] |
It is the rhythm of the dancers |
| [02:44.58] |
That gives the poets life |
| [02:48.08] |
It is the spirit of the poets |
| [02:51.59] |
That gives the soldiers strength to fight |
| [02:55.15] |
It is the fire of the young ones |
| [02:58.65] |
It is the wisdom of the old |
| [03:02.09] |
It is the story of the poor man |
| [03:05.77] |
That's needing to be told |
| [03:09.90] |
. |
| [03:14.08] |
One by one, will we run away |
| [03:17.71] |
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind |
| [03:21.96] |
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill |
| [03:26.46] |
. |
| [03:27.65] |
One by one, will we run away |
| [03:31.84] |
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind |
| [03:35.96] |
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill |
| [03:42.48] |
The city on the hill |
| [03:44.54] |
. |
| [03:46.16] |
Come home |
| [03:48.41] |
And the Father's calling still |
| [03:52.35] |
Come home, to the city on the hill |
| [03:59.43] |
Come home |
| [04:01.80] |
