		Bm (x24432@1)                     DIt (xx0232@1)once shined bright and it would be shining still
		      A (x02220@1)    GBut (320003@1)they all started turning on each other

Bm (x24432@1)                     DYou (xx0232@1)see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
	A (x02220@1)		GAnd (320003@1)the soldiers thought the poets were weak
	Bm (x24432@1)                            DAnd (xx0232@1)the elders saw the young ones as foolish

GAnd (320003@1)one by one
	  DThey (xx0232@1)ran away
	   AWith (x02220@1)their made up minds
	     GTo (320003@1)leave it all behind

		   AIn (x02220@1)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
