Come on, people! Come on, children! <br />
Come on down to the glory river.<br />
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down, <br />
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.<br />
I got fury in my soul, fury's gonna take me to the glory goal.<br />
In my mind I can't study war no more.<br />
Save the people! Save the children! Save the country now! <br />
Come on, people! come on, children! <br />
Come on down to the glory river.<br />
Gonna wash you up and wash you down.<br />
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.<br />
Come on people! Sons and mothers! <br />
Keep the dream of the two young brothers.<br />
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove.<br />
We could build the dream with love, I know, <br />
We could build the dream with love, I know, <br />
We could build a dream with love, children, <br />
We could build the dream with love, oh people, <br />
We could build the dream with love, I know, <br />
We could build the dream with love.<br />
<br />
Come on, people! Come on, children! <br />
There's a king at the glory river.<br />
And the precious king, he loved the people to sing; <br />
Babes in the blinkin' sun sang<br />
We Shall Overcome.
