River of Babylon

River of Babylon - The Melodians/Brent Gayford Dowe/James McNaughton/Taurus Alphonso

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he 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

Sing it out loud

Sing a song of freedom sister

Sing a song of freedom brother

We gotta sing and shout it

We gotta jump and shout it

Shout the song of freedom now ohh

So let the words of our mouth

And the meditation of our heart

Be acceptable in thy sight

Oh fari

So let the words of our mouth

And the meditation of our heart

Be acceptable in thy sight

Oh fari

Sing it again

We've got to sing it together

We've got to shout it together

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he 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
