Bob Marley - Redemption Song (from the legend album, with lyrics)

SONG LYRICS

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? Ooh!

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.

Wo! 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 have 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
