i was raised in babylon - cat stevens lyrics

Loading...

i was raised in babylon
our priests taught us how to worship the sun
wo! where did we go wrong?
they used to call us civilised – but those days are gone

i came to guard the pharaoh
bring him wine and women
oh lord! where is he now?
we used call him the highest – till the wave took him down

i was born in the holy land
they told me it was by god’s command
wo! where are the others from?
i thought that we were the chosen – i must’ve been wrong

i loved to march with the sultan
and his diamond turban
oh lord! then the world took hold
let go of the rope of god – for a handful of gold

i used to serve the empire
on which the sun set, never
oh! now times have turned
we thought our white skins would save us –
then we got burned

- cat stevens lyrics
