CASTING CROWNS lyrics : "City On The Hill"

Did you hear of the city on the hill?
Said the one old man to the other
It once shined bright and it would be shining still

But they all started turning on each other

You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow

And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak


And one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds, to leave it all behind

And the light began to fade, in the city on the hill
The city on the hill


Each one thought that they knew better
That they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together

They let their differences divide

And one by one, they ran away

With their made up minds, to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade, in the city on the hill
The city on the hill


And the world is searching still
But it was the rhythm of the dancers

That gave the poets life
It was the spirit of the poets
That gave the soldiers strength to fight

It was the fire of the young ones
It was the wisdom of the old
It was the story of the poor man

That needed to be told

It is the rhythm of the dancers

That gives the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets
That gives the soldiers strength to fight

It is the fire of the young ones
It is the wisdom of the old
It is the story of the poor man

That's needing to be told

One by one, will we run away

With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade, in the city on the hill
The city on the hill


One by one, will we run away
With our made up minds, to leave it all behind

As the light begins to fade, in the city on the hill
The city on the hill


Come home
And the Father's calling still
Come home

To the city on the hill
Come home
