Verse 1. Bm D*
Did you hear of the city on the hill?
C]Said one old man to the other [Em7. Bm D*
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
CBut they all started turning on each Em7other
Verse 2. Bm D*
You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
CAnd the soldiers thought the pEm7oets were weak
Bm D*
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
CAnd the rich man never heard the poor Em7man speak
Chorus. GAnd one by one
DThey ran away
CWith their made up minds
Em7To leave it all behind
GAnd Dthe light began to fade
CIn the city on the hill
CThe city on the hill
Verse 3. Bm D*
Each one thought that they knew better
C]That they were different by design [Em7. Bm D*
Instead of standing strong together
C]They let their differences divide [Em7.
Chorus. GAnd one by one
DThey ran away
CWith their made up minds
Em7To leave it all behind
GAnd Dthe light began to fade
CIn the city on the hill
CThe city on the hill
Passage:
Bm D* C Em7
And the world is searching still
Bm D* C
Bridge. GBut it was the rhythm of the dancers
That gave the poets life
DIt was the spirit of the poets
CThat gave the soldiers strength to fight
GIt was the fire of the young ones
BmIt was the wisdom of the old
CIt was the story of the poor man
That needed to be told
Ending. Bm D* C
Come home
Em7And the Father's calling still
Bm D* C
Come home
Em7To the city on the hill
Bm D* C
Come home
