Rivers of Babylon
We got to sing it together
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down, yeah
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
For the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
For the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (everybody sing this song)
Oh oh oh oh (we got to get it together)
Oh oh oh oh oh
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, oh far I
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight, oh far I
By the rivers of Babylon, yeah
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, oh far I
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight, oh far I
Oh oh oh oh
