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, come on children
There's a king at the glory river
And the precious king, he loved the people to sing
Babes, in the blinking sun sang, ‽We shall overcomeâ€Ã‚Â�

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, save the country

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
Take that dream and ride that dove
We could build the dream with love, I know

We could build the dream with love
We could build the dream with love, I know
We could build the dream with love
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, save the country
Save the country, now
