(by Bob Marley)


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 

All I ever had, is songs of freedom 

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 

Cause all I ever had, 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've got to fullfill the book 

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs 

Redemption songs, redemption songs 

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery 

None but oursekves 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 

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 

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs 

All I ever had, redemption songs 

These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
