Lyrics

Ooh pirates, yes, they row by
So not the merchant ship
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
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
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 fulfil the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Is redemption songs
Won't you care to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Is redemption songs
All I ever have
Redemption songs
All I've ever had
Is redemption songs
And all I ever, all I ever, yeah
Is redemption songs
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Redemption song
Written by: Bob Marley
