[Verse 1]
Come on, people, come on, children
Come on down to the glory river
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down
Gonna lay that devil down

[Verse 2]
Come on, people, come on, children
There's a king at the glory river
And the precious king loved the people to sing
Babes in the blinkin' sun singin' "We shall overcome"

[Pre-Chorus]
I got fury in my soul, I got fury in my soul
In my mind I know I can't study war no more

[Chorus]
Save the people, save the children
Save the country, save the country
Save the country, save the country
(Save the country)

[Verse 3]
Come on, children, sons and mothers
Keep the dream of the two young brothers
Gonna carry that dream and ride that dove
We could dream with love, we could dream with love
We could dream with love, ev'rybody, we could dream with love
We could dream with love
[Pre-Chorus]
I got fury in my soul, I got fury in my soul
In my mind I know I can't study war no more

[Chorus]
Save the people, save the children
Save the country, save the country
Save the country, save the country

[Outro]
Save the people, save the children
Save the country
Save the people, save the children
Save the country
Save the people, save the children
Save the country
