Redemption Song
Bob Marley And The Wailers
Yeah!
Yes, this little song here is called "Old Pirates", you know:
"Redemption Song"
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my 'and was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourself 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?
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Sing wi' me, children:
In every way, now
In everyday
In every way
In everyday
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourself can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall dey kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book
Won't you help to sing, o-oo-oo!
Another song of freedom? - yeah, child!
'Cause all I ever had, did ya know? -
Redemption songs
Sing the harmony:
Redemption songs
Come on with me, children!
In every way, now
In everyday
In every way, now
In every way
Thank you, very much!
