Meet Me In Babylon Lyrics

I saw a weeping mother

Her daughter covered in dust

They were framed in rubble

Don't let their names be lost

Write them on a white banner

Carry them to the Hill

We'll sing until the gates fall down

Oh, meet me in Babylon

I saw a silent father

Carrying his broken son

Their path was smoke and fire

Don't let them be forgotten

Paint their story on canvas

Carry them into the West

We'll sing until the dove has flown

Oh, meet me in Babylon

I see a thousand faces

Walking a thousand roads

Carrying banners and paintings

Composing laments and odes

Come gather, come, marchers

Make a thousand voices one

We'll sing this song together

When we meet in Babylon

I saw rocket launchers

As fence posts on a farm

No landmines remained

Only seeds that do no harm

Mother and daughter rejoice

With the father and his son

We'll sing a song to break the gates

When we meet in Babylon

I see a day when war is

A word no longer known

I long for that bright day,

We'll no longer say,

Oh, meet me in Babylon.
