By the rivers of babylon, where we sat down
Yeah we wailed, remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
Yeah we wailed, remembered Zion
When the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now, how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
