Mansion On the Hill - Bruce Springsteen

Well, I saw an old man walking in my place And he looked at me, it could have been my face He's words were kind but he's eyes were wild He said: I got load to love, but I want one more child. There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill. Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one I was in hurry but that don't matter now 'Cause I have to get off that road of tears somehow. There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill.

Up on the hill, down by the river By the ocean, across the field By the word of the boognish I said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home" (Lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home) When i was younger my momma told me She said "gener, i wanna smell it." And then she smelled it and it was smelly And she said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home" (Lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home) In a dream said he was comin' Boognish was risin' up from the mist He held the scepter of wealth and power And said, "by god, i've come to take you home." (By god, i've come to take you home) Up on the hill, down by the river By the ocean, across the field By the word of the boognish I said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home" (Lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home) When i was younger my momma told me She said "gener, i wanna smell it." And then she smelled it and it was smelly And she said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home" (Lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home) In a dream said he was comin' Boognish was risin' up from the mist He held the scepter of wealth and power And said, "by god, i've come to take you home." (By god, i've come to take you home)

In Bethlehem We lay our scene A city in a nation that's been Waiting for a king On a hill The city stands Ooh, not knowing that a miracle's Unfolding in its sands Holy Words had waited for Hundred years and hundreds more They didn't hear the sounding altar call Oh, open the door This is what you've waited for Under the brightest star Come the promised Savior Oh, hear the angels sing Do you hear their praises ring? The prophecy fulfilled The night was born The King on the hill The King on the hill Demons tremble Sick made whole But the stone that the builders spurned Will be our cornerstone On the hill He spoke of love Ooh, so radical, unconditional The world didn't know about Yeah, the world didn't know about Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah Oh, open the door This is what you've waited for Under the brightest star Come the promised Savior Oh, hear the angels sing Do you hear their praises ring? The prophecy fulfilled The night was born The King on the hill The King on the hill The King on the hill The King on the hill Holy Words they spoke before Ringing true for thousands more He's the Word that you've been Waiting for... Oh, open the door This is what you've waited for Under the brightest star Come the promised Savior Oh, hear the angels sing Do you hear their praises ring? The prophecy fulfilled The night was born Oh, open the door This is what you've waited for Under the brightest star Come the promised Savior Oh, hear the angels sing Do you hear their praises ring? The prophecy fulfilled The night was born The King on the hill The King on the hill The King on the hill The King on the hill On Calvary The earth stood still Did they realize, crucified Was the King on the hill
