City On A Hill
Casting Crowns

Verse 1:

	Bm		        DDid you hear of the city on the hill?
      A                    GSaid one old man to the other
		Bm	                      DIt once shined bright and it would be shining still
		      A		    GBut they all started turning on each other

Verse 2:

	      Bm		                     DYou see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
	A				GAnd the soldiers thought the poets were weak
	Bm                              DAnd the elders saw the young ones as foolish
	A			GAnd the rich man never heard the poor man speak

Chorus:

	   GAnd one by one
	  DThey ran away
	   AWith their made up minds
	     GTo leave it all behind
	G	       DAnd the light began to fade
		   AIn the city on the hill
The city on the hill

Verse 3:
Each one thought that they knew better
That they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide

Passage:

Bm   D   A     G               And the world is searching still
Bm   D   A

Bridge:

		GBut it was the rhythm of the dancers
That gave the poets life
	    DIt was the spirit of the poets
		AThat gave the soldiers strength to fight
	   GIt was the fire of the young ones
	   BmIt was the wisdom of the old
	   AIt was the story of the poor man
That needed to be told

Ending:

Bm  	D	A                Come home
G	And the Father's calling still
Bm	D	A                Come home
G	To the city on the hill
Bm	D	A                Come home
