Bruce Cockburn - Twelve Gates to the City Lyrics




Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Three gates in the east, three gates in the west
Three gates in the north, three gates in the south
Which should make twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

City on the hilltop, I'm gonna make it mine
Gonna be a citizen of a world of love divine
'Cause there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

No matter which tribe you're born to there's a way in for you
Come from any quarter, you can be a citizen too
'Cause there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
