Tell me why
Why you got your secret l-ocked inside
Why you trying to keep it f-or your own
If he asks for bread
Tell me wh-y, why you giving him a stone

You know
The reason for the hope that runs your soul
The reason that you're sleeping peacefully
Wasn't meant to be, undiscl-osed
Oh don't you kn-ow

~Chorus~
When you live in a, city on a hill
You've got to shine your l-ight
(2X)

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 w-orld
O-oh, 'cause
~Chorus~

Your heart is filled with wonder
Your cup is running over st-ill
When y-ou l-ive
In a city on a hill

(Sh-ine)
(Shine your l-ight)
(2X)
(Sh-ine)
(Sh-ine)

~Chorus~
(4X)
Shine, oh shine, shine
