Are you heavy laden? What lashes does your body bear? Are your sorrows plenty? Come lay em down, lay em down, lay em down There was a man from nowhere Who spoke power to the poor He filled their heart's with fire So they laid him down, laid him down, laid him down Oh I heard death had died So run, Devil run I say fare thee well to Babylon Oh I have laid my tent In the New Jerusalem With it's promise of love and life One day the poor will find plenty As the rich are left aside For there is a city descending Where the low shall be lifted high And the dead shall raise to life Oh I heard death had died So run, Devil run I say fare thee well to Babylon Oh I have laid my tent In the New Jerusalem With it's promise of love and life (give us life)
