[Intro]
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
We're gonna lay that devil down
[Verse 1]
Come on, people
Come on, children
There's a king at the glory river
And the precious king
And the people sing
Babies in the blinking sun
Singing "We Shall Overcome"
[Chorus]
Well I've got a 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
[Verse 2]
Come on, people
Sons and mothers
Keep the dream of the two young brothers
Gonna take the dream
And ride the dove
We could build the dream with love
Gonna build that dream with love
[Chorus]
And I've got a 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
