By the rivers of babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we 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 aloud (ah ah ah ahh)
Sing the song of freedom brother (ah ah ah ah)
Sing the song of freedom ah sister (ah ah ah ahh)
We gonna walk and shout it
We gonna sing and shout it eh eh
Shout the song of freedom now
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh verai
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh verai
Sing sing it again
We gotta sing it together
By the rivers of babylon
Where we sat down
And there we 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
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
