Save The Country Lyrics - Map To The Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro - Billy Childs

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" 

And 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 can build the dream with love, I know 

We could build the dream with love 

We could build the dream with love, I know 

We could build the dream with love 

And 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! 

Save the country! Save the country! Save the country!
