Rivers Of Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
By the rivers of Babylon ,
Where he sat down,
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity,
Required from us a song,
How can we sing King Alpha's song
Inna strange land?
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, verai!
