A how you get over?
How you get over?
A how you get over?
A how you get over? (Oh)
[Verse 2]
You've been walking the valley of sufferation
Man, a how you cross over?
You've been sitting in the seat of the scornful one
Man, a how you cross over?
[Chorus]
How you cross over? (Oh-oh)
A how you cross over?
How you cross over?
[Verse 3]
Babylon, it was burning down
Man, a how you get over?
The philistine was down on a you
Man, a how you get over?

A how you get over? (Oh now)
A how, a how you get over? (Yеah)
Woah, oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Babylon, it was burning down
Man, a how you get over?
The philistinе was down on a you

Brimstone and fire was coming at you
Man, a how you get over?
[Chorus]
A how you get over? (Woah-oh-oh)
A how you get over?
How you get over?

Babylon, it was burning down
Man, a how you get over?

Trodding the land of tribulation

Walking the valley of sufferation
Man, a how you cross over?
