Sent To 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.
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
