Sent To Babylon

The Congos


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
