shine your light

tell me why

why you got your secret locked inside?

why you trying to keep it for your own

if he asks for bread

tell me why

why you giving him a stone

you know

the reason for the hope

that burns your soul

the reason that you're sleeping peacefully

wasn't meant to be undisclosed

oh

don't you know

when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light

when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light

go and tell

go and bring them water from a different well

running with your candle into blackest night

to be salt and light

to the wide

wide world

'cause when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light

when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light

your heart is filled with wonder

your cup is running over still

when you live in a city on a hill

when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light

when you live in a city on a hill

you've got to shine your light
