Rivers of Babylon lyrics

[Verse 1]
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion

[Chorus]
'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?

[Bridge]
Sing it out loud
Sing a song of freedom, brother
Sing a song of freedom, sister

[Chorus]
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Far I
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Far I
[Bridge]
We got to sing it together
Everyone
La la la la la

[Verse 2]
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion

[Chorus]
'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?
