[00:00:14] Did you hear of the city on the hill?

[00:00:18] Said one old man to the other

[00:00:21] It once shined bright and it would be shining still

[00:00:25] But they all started turning on each other

[00:00:28] .

[00:00:37] You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow

[00:00:41] And the soldiers thought the poets were weak

[00:00:44] And the elders saw the young ones as foolish

[00:00:48] And the rich man never heard the poor man speak

[00:00:52] .

[00:00:52] And one by one, they ran away

[00:00:56] With their made-up minds to leave it all behind

[00:01:00] As the light began to fade in the city on the hill

[00:01:07] The city on the hill

[00:01:08] .

[00:01:14] Each one thought that they knew better

[00:01:17] But they were different by design

[00:01:21] Instead of standing strong together

[00:01:25] They let their differences divide

[00:01:28] .

[00:01:30] One by one, they ran away

[00:01:33] With their made-up minds to leave it all behind

[00:01:37] As the light began to fade in the city on the hill

[00:01:44] The city on the hill

[00:01:46] .

[00:01:50] And the world is searching still

[00:01:53] .

[00:01:58] But it was the rhythm of the dancers

[00:02:02] That gave the poets life

[00:02:05] It was the spirit of the poets

[00:02:09] That gave the soldiers strength to fight

[00:02:12] It was the fire of the young ones

[00:02:16] It was the wisdom of the old

[00:02:19] It was the story of the poor man

[00:02:23] That needed to be told

[00:02:27] .

[00:02:41] It is the rhythm of the dancers

[00:02:44] That gives the poets life

[00:02:48] It is the spirit of the poets

[00:02:51] That gives the soldiers strength to fight

[00:02:55] It is the fire of the young ones

[00:02:58] It is the wisdom of the old

[00:03:02] It is the story of the poor man

[00:03:05] That's needing to be told

[00:03:09] .

[00:03:14] One by one, will we run away

[00:03:17] With our made-up minds to leave it all behind

[00:03:21] As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill

[00:03:26] .

[00:03:27] One by one, will we run away

[00:03:31] With our made-up minds to leave it all behind

[00:03:35] As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill

[00:03:42] The city on the hill

[00:03:44] .

[00:03:46] Come home

[00:03:48] And the Father's calling still

[00:03:52] Come home, to the city on the hill

[00:03:59] Come home

[00:04:01] .
