By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
Psalm 137:1


For the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha song
In a strange land?
For the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha song
In a strange land?
Psalm 137:3-4


Sing it out!
Sing a song of freedom brother!
Sing it out, sing it clear!

Sing a song of freedom sisters!
Sing it out, sing it loud!

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
Psalm 19:14


(..)

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