By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
And there we wept and we remembered Zion

Oh the wicked carried us away captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

Let the words of our mouth
and the meditation of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight
O Jah Ras Tafari

New name Jah Ras Tafari
Yes it's a new name precious name
New name Jah Ras Tafari
