j lind - city on a hill lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s painted on a canvas, and it’s written on a page
scribbled on a napkin in the dark
it’s ringing in a whisper, and it’s screaming on a stage
setting fire to my heart

[chorus]
and were our hearts not burning within us
did not the rocks cry, “this is why you’re here”?
let us defend this most holy mountain
let none disturb our city on a hill

[verse 2]
it’s stitched into the banner, and it’s waving with the flag
it’s stained in black and in white
but there’s comfort in the contrast, in the line drawn in the sand
welcomed distraction in the fight

[chorus]
and were our hearts not burning within us
did not the rocks cry, “this is why you’rе here”?
let us dеfend this most holy mountain
let none disturb our city on a hill

[verse 3]
it’s timeless and eternal, the water and the blood
a valley to find rest in late at night
it’s excrement and it’s sacrament, saliva in the mud
perfect hill on which to die
[chorus]
and were our hearts not burning within us
did not the rocks cry, “this is why you’re here”?
let us defend this most holy mountain
let none disturb our city on a hill
and were our hearts not burning within us
did not the lord say, “there’s no other way”?
let us protect this most precious garden
because we need it, the apple and the snake
