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 (sister)
We gotta sing and shout it!
We gotta jump and shout it!
Shout the song of freedom now, oh
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
Everyone (we've got to shout it together)
La la la la la, oh
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, sing it, sing it
See you got to sing it, brother
You got to sing it, sing sisters, yeah
