Written by：Mark Hall/Matthew West

Did you hear of the city on the hill
你可曾听闻那座山巅之城
Said one old man to the other
一位老者向另一位问道
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
它曾璀璨夺目 本该永放光芒
But they all started turning on each other
但人们开始互相倾轧
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow
诗人认为舞者浅薄
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
士兵觉得诗人软弱
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
长者视年轻人为愚昧
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak
富人从不倾听穷人的声音
And one by one they ran away
人们一个接一个逃离
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
带着决绝的心 抛下一切远去
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill
山巅之城的光芒逐渐黯淡
The city on the hill
那座山巅之城啊
Each one thought that they knew better
每个人都自以为是
But they were different by design
却忘了差异本是天意
Instead of standing strong together
本该携手并肩而立
They let their differences divide
却任分歧将彼此分离
One by one they ran away
人们一个接一个逃离
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
带着决绝的心 抛下一切远去
As the light began to fade in the city on the hill
山巅之城的光芒逐渐黯淡
The city on the hill
那座山巅之城啊
And the world is searching still
世人仍在苦苦寻觅
But it was the rhythm of the dancers
是舞者跃动的韵律
That gave the poets life
赋予了诗人灵性的生命
It was the spirit of the poets
是诗人的灵魂
That gave the soldiers strength to fight
赋予战士战斗的力量
It was the fire of the young ones
是年轻人的热情
It was the wisdom of the old
是长者的智慧
It was the story of the poor man
是穷人的故事
That needed to be told
需要被传颂
It is the rhythm of the dancers
是舞者的韵律
That gives the poets life
给予诗人生命
It is the spirit of the poets
诗人灵魂的火焰
That gives the soldiers strength to fight
赋予战士抗争的力量
It is the fire of the young ones
青年炽热的火光
It is the wisdom of the old
老者沉淀的智慧光芒
It is the story of the poor man
贫者未诉说的故事
That's needing to be told
正等待被传唱
One by one will we run away
我们终将逐个逃离
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
带着决绝背影 将一切抛弃
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill
山巅之城渐失光芒
One by one will we run away
我们终将逐个逃离
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
带着决绝背影 将一切抛弃
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill
山巅之城渐失光芒
The city on the hill
那座山巅之城啊
Come home
归来吧
And the Father's calling still
天父仍在声声呼唤
Come home to the city on the hill
回到山巅之城吧
Come home
归来吧
