The Light on the Hill
Bernadette held onto the megaphoneCried "people, just keep your heads down"Quietly wept as she watched them fallAs the Tommies, they tore up the townHe stood on the river bankWatched the moon rise over the treesHeard the Indians singing on the other sideIn the moment he was born to believeSee the light on the hillThere's a light on the hillIf all you'd fought for was taken downWould you stand by the light on the hill?The unknown rebel walked into the roadAs the tanks rolled into the townInnocent youth with a shopping bagFor thirty long minutes he didTo dream you could hold the tyrant backAs the juggernaut took over the townHe cried "look what you've done to this city of mine"As he stared that tank driver downSee the light on the hillSongtexteThere's a light on the hillIf all you'd fought for was taken downWould you stand by the light on the hill?See the light on the hillThere's a light on the hillIf all you'd fought for was taken downWould you stand by the light on the hill?If all you'd fought for was taken downWould you stand by the light on the hill?
