Lyrics
All my life
I wanted to be free
All my life
All my life
And all I ask is I get my chance
It’s all I ask
It’s All I ask
Shining City on the Hill
Are you shining for me still
‘Cause I can’t see you light anymore
Huddled masses, hungry and poor
Looking for your golden door, aren’t they?
Shining City on the Hill
She left home
Little Child in her hand
For a better life
In the promised land
Town by town
She found her way
To open skies
And amber waves of grain
Shining City on the Hill
Are you shining for me still
‘Cause I can’t see you light anymore
Huddled masses, hungry and poor
Looking for your golden door, aren’t they?
Shining City on the Hill
The shadows grow long
Rage rage against the coming darkness
Rage, Rage
Do not go quietly
I can’t go back
There’s nothing for me there
I can’t go back
No, I can’t go back
All my life I wanted to be free
I want my chance, I want my chance
Shining City on the Hill
Are you shining for me still
‘Cause I can’t see you light anymore
Huddled masses, hungry and poor
Looking for your golden door, aren’t they?
Shining City on the Hill
Shining City
Shining City
On the Hill
