Redemption song Lyrics
Artist(Band):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.
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? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.

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 have 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.

Review about Redemption song
God? | Reviewer: sean salvador | 1/25/2008the emancipate from mental slavery bit is a quote from Marcus Garvey (yes, the racist Klu Klux Klan tit). Doesnt stop it from being a good lyric though.
Oh also, Ian, which god is that? King Hailey Salassie I by any chance? No, didnt think so.
Redeem Yourselves | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/27/2007
Bob uses timeless adage and assures the audience peace and freedom are attainable. Do not close your eyes to what is potential, including humanity. Man is not a stagnant force; he creates his own heaven and hell, and he creates his gods as his shepherd. We must make sure to create our gods wisely.

This song is testimony that we are slaves to our own mind. And it also brings to light the fact that only God can save us, not man.

Bob Marley will always a be a great preahcer, and he displays that in this song. This has always been one of my favorite songs since the very 1st time that I heard it. Its a very moving song and one that every soul on earth should listen to.
