[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].

[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].
