Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
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

[Chorus: Valley Boys]
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
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
And sing

[Chorus: Valley Boys]
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Valley Boys, Chris Brown]
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
[Bridge: Valley Boys]

About Bye Bye Babylon

"Bye Bye Babylon" is a unique blend of Christian contemporary and Southern gospel music that speaks to the human soul. Written by Steven Furtick, Austin Davis, and Chris Brown, and produced by Davis and Brown, the song was released in 2021. The song's title is a reference to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, a symbol of human arrogance and disobedience in the face of God's will. The song's message is one of repentance, humility, and a renewed commitment to follow God's path.

The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the track, as the lead vocalist sings, "I've been living in Babylon, singing pretty songs." This line is a reference to the biblical story of the Israelites' exile in Babylon, where they were forced to assimilate with the Babylonian culture. The metaphor of Babylon is used to represent the worldly temptations and distractions that pull us away from our true purpose and calling.

The chorus of the song is simple but powerful, with the lead vocalist declaring, "Bye bye, Babylon, I'm leaving you behind. Gonna follow Jesus all my life." This simple declaration encapsulates the song's central message perfectly. It is a call to leave behind our old ways and follow Christ wholeheartedly.

The song features an infectious rhythm that combines a mix of traditional Southern gospel instrumentation, such as the piano and organ, with more contemporary sounds, such as electric guitar and modern drum beats. This blend creates a unique sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The Valley Boys, a group of vocalists from Charlotte, North Carolina, lend their talents to the song, providing rich harmonies that elevate the song to new heights.

The lyrics of the song are both poetic and profound, with lines such as "I don't wanna sing no more sad songs, I don't wanna sing no more lies" and "I'm not alone, I'm not afraid, You're with me in this place." These lines speak to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, but also to the hope and comfort that faith in God can bring.

With its powerful lyrics, infectious rhythm, and unique blend of contemporary and traditional gospel sounds, "Bye Bye Babylon" is a song that is sure to resonate with listeners from all walks of life. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost, alone, and searching for something more. But more than that, it offers hope, redemption, and a renewed sense of purpose for those who are willing to follow Christ's path.

So what are you waiting for? Say goodbye to Babylon and embrace a new life of purpose and meaning with "Bye Bye Babylon."
