Jimmy Cliff - Rivers of Babylon lyrics
[Jimmy Cliff - Rivers of Babylon lyrics]
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, brother
Sing a song of freedom, sister
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 heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight oh, Far I
We got to sing it together everyone
La la la la la
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?
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, brother
Sing a song of freedom, sister
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 heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight oh, Far I
We got to sing it together everyone
La la la la la
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?
