We were sent to Babylon for a reason We were sent to Babylon for a reason We were sent to Babylon in this season We were sent to Babylon for a reason Although they try to deceive us Although they try to bribe us Just the other way, oh yea Just the other day For I know there is gonna be some changes For I know that life is always rearranging But the children should never give up on the king You got to stay away from sin And let the sun come shining in Each and every day, oh yea Each and every way For there is one more chance for this generation Although there are so much segregation But out of evil came forth good And that's the way it should All the days of our lives We got to stay alive We were sent to Babylon to redeem the children Although they are so disobedient But the children should never give up on the king And let the sun come shining in All the days of our lives We got to stay alive Jah would never turn his back on the children of Israel Jah would never turn his back on the chosen ones For we got to see the promise land Jah love and his children stand
