High on a hilltop overlooking the city   I can see the bright lights as they gleam   And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room   And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dream      High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord   Forgive her, she knows not the way   And give me the power to believe and some day   High on a hilltop together we'll pray      I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth   With a promise of riches for you   But you see not the danger 'cause you're silly with booze   And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you      High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord   Forgive her, she knows not the way   And give me the power to believe and some day   High on a hilltop together we'll pray
