    Lyrics:
    1
    Cried yourself to sleep (I know)
    Lonely under these sheets
    Cuz you've tried
    To make yourself seen
    Through a field of green
    But it's over grown
    2
    If it all comes true
    When you seen it all thru
    you look back
    At the footprints on the path
    Where does that leave you
    3
    Can you be still
    There’s a void only silence can fill
    Where you are is all that’s real
    When you’re there, remember how it feels
    oOoOoOo
    All alone in your city on a hill
    oOoOoOO
    4
    Who do you have left
    When it all goes bad
    Who was by your side
    When the fire subsides
    And it rains in your head
    5
    Did you leave your mark
    Can they catch ur spark
    Did you Trade your torch
    for a silver fork
    And a life in the dark
    6
    Can you be still
    There’s a void only silence can fill
    Where you are is all that’s real
    When you’re there, remember how it feels
    oOoOoOo
    All alone at your city on a hill
    oOoOoOO

    My 2-year-old was having a hard day and I put this song on. He immediately stopped crying and just listened and then I heard his little voice sing along with the chorus and my wife and I started tearing up it was the first time we've heard him sing along to an adult song. You have a gift brother. God is good.

    This song is beautiful. A good reminder that running around trying to live a perfect life, won’t get you anywhere if you can’t be still for moments at a time. I definitely feel like I traded my torch for a silver fork. Trying to figure out how to relight my own spark now, without burning everything down.

    "You look back on the footprints in the sand, where does that leave you" - wow does this song resonate with me. Just returned from a trip to my home town of Belfast, where my family moved away from when i was an infant because of the violence/civil war. There are some really weird feelings about being a stranger in your homeland and a foreigner where youve grown up. Truly alone in a city on a hill. Thank you Mon Rovîa for this beautiful and poignant song.
