Tell me why
Why you got your secret locked inside?
Why you trying to keep it for your own
If he asks for bread
Tell me why, why you giving him a stone
You know
The reason for the hope
That burns your soul
The reason that you're sleeping peacefully
Wasn't meant to be undisclosed
Oh, don't you know
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
Go and tell
Go and bring them water from a different well
Running with your candle into blackest night
To be salt and light
To the wide, wide world
'Cause when you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
Your heart is filled with wonder
Your cup is running over still
When you live in a city on a hill
(Shine your light)
(Shine your light)
(Shine...)
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
