Elevation Worship's song 'Babylon' draws from the biblical story of the Israelites' exile, calling God's people to leave captivity and return home. It encourages listeners to shake off oppression, reclaim forgotten songs of faith, and celebrate freedom. The repeated cry 'Abba, come and take us home' expresses a deep longing for God's deliverance and restoration. The song blends themes of liberation, hope, and trust in God's faithfulness, echoing the promise that future generations will be free.

Daughters of Zion, weep no more
Pack your bags, we're goin' home
Shake off your captivity
Today is the day we shall be free
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Learn the old, forgotten songs
Sing the ones you know by heart
Take down your harp from the willow tree
Reclaim the long lost melody
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Laugh and dance like kings and queens)
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Our children's children shall be free)
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Our children's children shall be free)
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
