Lyrics:
Um ... um ... ah ... ah ...
Um ... um ... ah ... ah. ...
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
Yes, we cried when we thought of Zion.
Yes, we cried at the thought of Zion.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
Yes, we cried when we thought of Zion.
Yes, we cried at the thought of Zion.
When the wicked imprisoned us,
When the wicked take us away,
Ask us to sing a song.
We need a song.
Now how do we sing God's songs,
How can we sing God's songs?
In a strange place.
In a strange place.
When the wicked imprisoned us,
When the wicked take us away,
Ask us to sing a song.
We need a song.
How can we sing God's songs in a strange place now?
How can we sing God's songs? In a strange place.
Ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...
Ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...
Let the words in our mouth and the thoughts in our hearts
Let the words in our mouth and our meditation
Tonight, in your eyes, the heart is acceptable,
The heart in front of you tonight is acceptable,
Let the words in our mouth and the thoughts in our hearts
Let the words in our mouth and our meditation
Tonight, in your eyes, the heart is acceptable,
The heart in front of you tonight is acceptable,
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
Yes, we cried when we thought of Zion.
Yes, we cried at the thought of Zion.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
Yes, we cried when we thought of Zion.
Yes, we cried. We thought of Zion.
Ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...
Ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
By the river Babylon, we sat there.
Yes, we cried when we thought of Zion.
Yes, we cried at the thought of Zion.
