Redemption Song
Bob Marley (“Playing for change” version)
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's 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 outside and
look
Some say it's just a part of
it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These's song of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
(Guitar break)
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 help to sing
These's song of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
