[00:00.21]Casting Crowns - City On the Hill
[00:02.54].
[00:04.75].
[00:06.12].
[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].
