Lyrics

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

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 now!

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
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove

We could build the dream with love, I know
We could build the dream with love, I know
We could build a dream with love, children
We could build the dream with love, oh people
We could build the dream with love, I know
We could build the dream with love

2Nd verse:
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"
