Redemption Song Lyrics

Redemption Song lyrics

(Bob Marley)







Old pirates yes they rob I



Sold I to the merchant ships



Minute after they took I



from the bottomless pit



But my hand was made strong



By the hand of the almighty



And we'll forward in this generation



triumphantly







Won't you help to sing



These songs of freedom



These songs of freedom



All I ever had, yeah



Redemption songs



Redemption songs







Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery



None but ourselves can free our minds



I 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



Some say it's just a part of it



And we got to fulfil the book







But won't you help to sing



Songs of freedom



These songs of freedom



All I ever had



Is just redemption songs



Redemption songs







Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery



None but ourselves can free our minds



I 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



(While we stand, while we stand aside)



Some say it's just a part of it



We've got to fulfill the book







But won't you help to sing



These songs of freedom



These songs of freedom



These songs of freedom



These songs of freedom



Redemption songs



Songs of freedom



Just songs of freedom



Redemption songs



Songs of freedom



Songs of freedom
