Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Come on, people, come on, children
There's a king at the Glory River
And the precious King, he loved the people to sing
Babes in the blinkin' sun
Sang, "We shall overcome"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Save the country now
[Verse 5]
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
Long lay the Devil
Lay that Devil down
[Verse 6]
Come on, people, sons and mothers
Keep the dream of the two young brothers
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove
[Verse 7]
We could build a dream with love, I know
We could build a dream with love, I know
We could build a dream with love, children
We could build a dream with love, oh, people
We could build a dream with love, I know
We could build a dream with love
[Verse 8]
I got fury, I got fury, I got fury
I got fury in my soul
Gonna take me to the glory goal
In my mind, I can't study war no more
[Verse 9]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Yeah, baby, save the country
Save the country
Save the country
Save the country
[Verse 10]
Now
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 11]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 12]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 13]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 14]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 15]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
Come on down to the Glory River
[Verse 16]
Save the people
Save the children
Save the country
