Lyrics
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits
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?
Some say it's just a part of it
We got to fulfil The Book
So, won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Here some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfil The Book
So, won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have redemption songs
All I ever have redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
Writer(s): Bob Marley
