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 blinkin’ sun   sang we shall overcome!   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   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
