Redemption Song (Band version alternate 2) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

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
Forward in this generation
Triumphantly

All I ever have
These songs of freedom?
Won′t you help to sing?
These songs of freedom
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? Ooh
Some say it′s just a part of it
We've got to fullfil the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
Won′t you help to sing?
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop 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 fullfill the book
Won′t you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
All I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time
