It once shined bright and it would be shining still
[C]But they all started turning on each other [Em7]

You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
[C]And the soldiers thought the poets were weak [Em7]

And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
[C]And the rich man never heard the poor man speak [Em7]

[CHORUS]

[G]And one by one
[D]They ran away
[C]With their made up minds
[Em7]To leave it all behind
[G]And the light began to f[D]ade
[C]In the city on the hill
[C]The city on the hill

[VERSE 3]

Bm D*
Each one thought that they knew better
[C]That they were different by design [Em7]

Instead of standing strong together
[C]They let their differences divide [Em7]

[CHORUS]

[G]And one by one

[C]The city on the hill

And the world is searching still
[Bm] D* [C]

[BRIDGE]

[G]But it was the rhythm of the dancers
That gave the poets life
[D]It was the spirit of the poets
[C]That gave the soldiers strength to fight
[G]It was the fire of the young ones
[Bm]It was the wisdom of the old
[C]It was the story of the poor man
That needed to be told

Come home
[Em7]And the Father's calling still
[Bm] D* [C]
Come home
[Em7]To the city on the hill
[Bm] D* [C]
Come home
