We sweat out in the sun outside beloved Jerusalem to pay Caesar Augustus We're under Herod's hand – the Romans rape and pillage our land The land that God gave to us But we're going to make a getaway When the savior comes to take away our pain King David prophesied there'll come a son with God on his side to conquer our enemies I wish he'd come right now – turn Caesar's sword into a plow Come, savior, hear our plea But we're going to make a getaway When the savior comes to take away our pain Yes, we're waiting for a better day When the glory's restored to Israel again
