By the rivers of Babylon Where we sat down And there we wept When we remembered Zion But the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land?

But the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land?
