Save the Country
Harmony for Humanity: Uniting Hearts to Save the Country
Lyrics
Come on, people, come on, children
Encouragement for people and children to gather.
Come on down to the glory river.
Invitation to come to a place of great significance.
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down,
Symbolic cleansing, purifying individuals.
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.
Metaphorically defeating evil or negativity.
I got fury in my soul,fury's gonna take me to the glory goal
Deep passion driving towards a noble objective.
In my mind I can't study war no more.
Personal commitment to peace, refusing war.
Save the people, save the children, save the country now
Urgent call to save and protect people, especially children, and the nation.
Come on, people come on, children
Reiteration of the call for people and children to come together.
Come on down to the glory river
Repeated invitation to a place of significance.
Gonna wash you up and wash you down
Continued symbolic cleansing and purifying.
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down
Repeated intention to defeat evil or negativity.
Come on people! Sons and mothers
Encouragement for unity among people and nurturing aspirations.
Keep the dream of the two young brothers
Preservation of the dreams of young individuals.
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove
Using dreams to guide toward peace.
We could build the dream with love, I know,
Repeated emphasis on building a positive future through love.
We could build the dream with love, I know,
-We could build a dream with love, children,
-We could build the dream with love, oh people,
-We could build the dream with love, I know,
-We could build the dream with love.
-Come on, people! Come on, children!
Repeated encouragement for people and children to gather.
There's a king at the glory river
Reference to a symbolic figure at a significant place.
And the precious king, he loved the people to sing;
Depiction of a leader encouraging communal singing.
Babes in the blinkin' sun sang
Representation of hope and resilience in difficult times.
"We Shall Overcome".
Reference to the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, signifying hope and perseverance.
