Come on, people! Come on, children!
Come on down to the glory river,
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down,
Gonna lay the devil down.
Gonna lay that devil down.
I got fury in my soul,
Fury's gonna take me to the glory goal,
In my mind I can't study war no more.
Save the people! Save the children! Save the Country now!
Come on people! Come on, children!
There's a king at the glory river,
And the precious king, he loved the people to sing;
Babies in the blinkin' sun sang
"We Shall Overcome."
I got fury in my soul,
Fury's gonna take me to the glory goal.
In my mind I can't study war no more.
Save the people! Save the children! Save the Country now!
Come on, people! Come on, children!
Come on down to the glory river.
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down,
Gonna lay the devil down,
Gonna lay that devil down!
Come on, people! Sons and mothers!
Keep the dream of the two young brothers,
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove.
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build a dream with love, children,
We could build the dream with love, oh, people,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love!
I got fury in my soul,
Fury's gonna take me to the glory goal,
In my mind I can't study war no more.
Save the people! Save the children! Save the Country now!
