"Rivers Of Babylon" lyrics

"Rivers Of Babylon"

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion

For the wicked, carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
O fari

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion

For the wicked, carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
