Mark Seymour - The Light on the Hill lyrics

Bernadette held onto the megaphone Cried "people, just keep your heads down" Quietly wept as she watched them fall Bernadette held onto the megaphone Cried "people, just keep your heads down" Quietly wept as she watched them fall As the Tommies, they tore up the town He stood on the river bank Watched the moon rise over the trees Heard the Indians singing on the other side In the moment he was born to believe See the light on the hill There's a light on the hill If all you'd fought for was taken down Would you stand by the light on the hill? The unknown rebel walked into the road As the tanks rolled into the town Innocent youth with a shopping bag For thirty long minutes he did To dream you could hold the tyrant back As the juggernaut took over the town He cried "look what you've done to this city of mine" As he stared that tank driver down See the light on the hill There's a light on the hill If all you'd fought for was taken down Would you stand by the light on the hill? See the light on the hill There's a light on the hill If all you'd fought for was taken down Would you stand by the light on the hill? If all you'd fought for was taken down Would you stand by the light on the hill?
