We were sent to Babylon for a reason

We were sent to Babylon for a reason

We were sent to Babylon in this season

We were sent to Babylon for a reason

Although they try to deceive us

Although they try to bribe us

Just the other way, oh yea

Just the other day

For I know there is gonna be some changes

For I know that life is always rearranging

But the children should never give up on the king

You got to stay away from sin

And let the sun come shining in

Each and every day, oh yea

Each and every way

For there is one more chance for this generation

Although there are so much segregation

But out of evil came forth good

And that's the way it should

All the days of our lives

We got to stay alive

We were sent to Babylon to redeem the children

Although they are so disobedient

But the children should never give up on the king

And let the sun come shining in

All the days of our lives

We got to stay alive

Jah would never turn his back on the children of Israel

Jah would never turn his back on the chosen ones

For we got to see the promise land

Jah love and his children stand
