Child of Babylon
Restless as the sea
Waiting for God to reveal
The last page of history.
Child of Babylon
Mercifully your days are few
They seem to vanish
Like the morning dew.
Child of Babylon
Carried by the wind
A gypsy with no home
A loner without a friend.
Child of Babylon
Surrounded by confusion
Vexed by the lies
Blinded by the illusion.
Child of Babylon
No three wishes for you.....
Three woes are granted --
Be glad they are few.
Child of Babylon
With velvet-covered chains
Struggle to get free
And you will feel the pain.
Child of Babylon
Face your final testing
Those who suffer the most
Receive a greater blessing.
Child of Babylon
As the secret tears flow
You were told to count the cost
And only He will know.
Child of Babylon
Endure the coming storm
Hold fast the promises
There's a reason why you were born...
