Compare Psalm 137: 1 - 4:
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
And The Rivers of Babylon by The The Melodians
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
Sing it out loud
Sing a song of freedom sister
Sing a song of freedom brother
We gotta sing and shout it
We gotta talk and shout it
Shout the song of freedom now
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Over I
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Over I
Sing it again
We've got to sing it together
Everyone of us together
By the rivers of Babylon...
Hmm..interesting, the bible isn't really my style, but I love this song which appears to be just a rastaised psalm. Its interesting to see, by changing the delivery I can see the wisdom in this psalm. Maybe even if your not religious you can still learn from religious teachings. Just because you don't agree with them all, or even the vast majority of them, doesn't mean you should ignore all of them. Of course this approach means that you do have to dig further, you have to consider a lot of stuff you'll just reject. I guess most people just don't have the time to do this, to busy with the rat race...shame really.
