People of Babylon
By the river of no return
Where we sat
There we wait
Remembering our homeland
We were taken into captivity
Requiring from us total submission
How shall we recite the Lord's Hymn ?
In a strange man land
Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!
Voices humming!
We poured out the meditation of our heart into the river
As our voices could no more be heard
