By the waters of Babylon We laid our lyres down Laid our lyres down We sat and cried By the waters of Babylon We sang no sacred songs Sang no sacred songs Our tongues were tied If I forget you Jerusalem I'll play no more again Play no more again Not one more time Won't you show me Jerusalem Razed and broken Razed and broken Alone on high By the waters of Babylon We laid our lyres down Laid our lyres down For a long long time Won't you show me Jerusalem Razed and broken Razed and broken Alone on high
