Casting Crowns - City On the Hill[00:00:00]
.[00:00:02]
.[00:00:04]
.[00:00:06]
Did you hear of the city on the hill?[00:00:14]
Said one old man to the other[00:00:18]
It once shined bright and it would be shining still[00:00:21]
But they all started turning on each other[00:00:25]
.[00:00:28]
You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow[00:00:37]
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak[00:00:41]
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish[00:00:44]
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak[00:00:48]
.[00:00:52]
And one by one, they ran away[00:00:52]
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind[00:00:56]
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill[00:01:00]
The city on the hill[00:01:07]
.[00:01:08]
Each one thought that they knew better[00:01:14]
But they were different by design[00:01:17]
Instead of standing strong together[00:01:21]
They let their differences divide[00:01:25]
.[00:01:28]
One by one, they ran away[00:01:30]
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind[00:01:33]
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill[00:01:37]
The city on the hill[00:01:44]
.[00:01:46]
And the world is searching still[00:01:50]
.[00:01:53]
But it was the rhythm of the dancers[00:01:58]
That gave the poets life[00:02:02]
It was the spirit of the poets[00:02:05]
That gave the soldiers strength to fight[00:02:09]
It was the fire of the young ones[00:02:12]
It was the wisdom of the old[00:02:16]
It was the story of the poor man[00:02:19]
That needed to be told[00:02:23]
.[00:02:27]
It is the rhythm of the dancers[00:02:41]
That gives the poets life[00:02:44]
It is the spirit of the poets[00:02:48]
That gives the soldiers strength to fight[00:02:51]
It is the fire of the young ones[00:02:55]
It is the wisdom of the old[00:02:58]
It is the story of the poor man[00:03:02]
That's needing to be told[00:03:05]
.[00:03:09]
One by one, will we run away[00:03:14]
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind[00:03:17]
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill[00:03:21]
.[00:03:26]
One by one, will we run away[00:03:27]
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind[00:03:31]
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill[00:03:35]
The city on the hill[00:03:42]
.[00:03:44]
Come home[00:03:46]
And the Father's calling still[00:03:48]
Come home, to the city on the hill[00:03:52]
Come home[00:03:59]
.[00:04:01]
