[Verse]
Land of minstrels and prophets we stand
We gather with one accord
Giving thanks and praise to Most High
Giving thanks and praise to our Lord
The stormy weather has passed
And we can't see nary a cloud
We went to the mountain to pray
Then descended from higher ground

[Chorus]
And we say goodbye to the Babylon system
We know that we won't miss them
Stand as Jah welcomes you to New Jerusalem
Say goodbye to the Babylon system
I pray every ear will listen
We stand in authority as sons of the I AM

[Verse]
Twenty-seven the land will change hands
Twenty-seven we break fallow ground
Twenty-seven the cycle will end
So prepare all that you can now
Gather your seeds. Don't get weary
Teach your sons and your daughters to plant
My people we have to be ready
When abundance returns to our land (And we say)

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the Babylon system
We know that we won't miss them
Stand as Yah welcomes you to New Jerusalem
Say goodbye to the Babylon system
I pray every ear will listen
We stand in authority as sons of the I AM

Goodbye to the Babylon system
We know that we won't miss them
Stand as Yah welcomes you to New Jerusalem
Say goodbye to the Babylon system
I pray every ear will listen
We stand in authority as sons of the I AM
