Babylon from '49 by Raynes

We wasted the wishes
We were given on a fish
And now we’re burned by an alien sun
We break down
And crumble one by one

We don’t look like the others
We could paint ourselves in colors
That look more like a king's than a slave's
But we barely
Remember what we gave

And you never know
Who might be listening

We’ll be free of
All the sighs and sorrows
Follow me, love
We can fly right out the window
And we’ll be gone
Moving on from Babylon

And if it’s true
We’ll make it through

We’re building higher and higher
But it looks like Jeremiah’d
Rather cry in a corner alone
We beg for bread
They offer only stones

And you never know
Who might be listening

Can we give ‘em
Any new resistance?

We’ll be free of
All the sighs and sorrows
Follow me, love
We can fly right out the window
And we’ll be gone
Moving on from Babylon

And if it’s true
We’ll make it through

Over and over, on and on

We’ll be free of
All the sighs and sorrows
Follow me, love
We can fly right out the window
And we’ll be gone
Moving on from Babylon

And if it’s true
(On and on and on and on)
(Movin’ on from Babylon)

We’ll make it through

(On and on and on and on)
(Movin’ on from Babylon)
