Lyrics
By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept, and wept for thee Zion
We remember, we remember, we remember thee Zion
By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept, and wept for thee Zion
We remember thee, remember thee, remember thee Zion
And now with the Trump Administration being sworn in, let us remember Zion now more than ever before.
