Redemption Song

(Bob Marley)

Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Huh, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Oh, have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs,
All I ever had
Redemption songs!
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom!
