Will Butler - City On A Hill lyrics

On a crowded afternoon, I just want to look out on a normal room Without that fear in my heart, every time someone comes through a door And I know that some day soon, it'll happen again and I'm not a fool I keep watching the stranger's eyes, as if he might be holding knife In a city on a hill, I was born and grew up and I'm living there still Tonight the curtains are drawn, and the gates are locked and the alarm is on But f** off, let's light up the lights Because the winter is dark and I'm sick of the night There's strangers dying outside, and some people are muttering on to just let them die But my god do you think we can hide, a city on a hill There was no room at the inn, not in Indiana, not in Texas, not in Maine So they prayed and they headed to Berlin, as if God was on there side C'mon, let's light up the lights Because the winter is cold and I'm sick of the night There's strangers dying outside, and some people are muttering on to just let them die I'm not here to preach Christ crucified, but that the blood of the innocent it rarely stays quiet And f** off, I'm not going to die From a terrorist bullet or some radical spy I could die in a car crash tonight or from a lightning strike or a meteorite Yes I'm scared and I might want to hide, in my city on a hill But my god do you think we can hide, a city on a hill
