City On The Hill - Casting Crowns

This song means something to me because it basically says we need each other no matter how different we are. I like it a lot. Listen to it closely so that you can hear the meaning and not just the words.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ5R08xDC6c
Did you hear of the city on the hill?
Said one old man to the other
It once shined bright, and it would be shining still
But they all started turning on each other
-You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak
-But one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade
In the City on the Hill, the City on the Hill
-Each one thought that they knew better
But they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide
-And one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade
In the City on the Hill, the City on the Hill
-And the world is searching still
-But it was the rhythm of the dancers that gave the poets life
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight
It was fire of the young ones, It was the wisdom of the old
It was the story of the poor man that needed to be told
-It is the rhythm of the dancers that gives the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets that gives the soldiers strength to fight
It is fire of the young ones, It is the wisdom of the old
It is the story of the poor man that's needing to be told
-But one by one will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the City on the Hill
-One by one will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the City on the Hill
The city on the hill
-(Come home)
And the Father's calling still
(Come home)
To the city on the hill
(Come home)
