REDEMPTION SONG Lyrics

[Bob Marley]  [Live: The Stanley Theatre,
                                               Pittsburgh, PA, 23/9/1980]
            Yeah!
            Yes, this little son ghere is called "Old Pirates", you know:
            "Redemption Song".

            Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
            Sold I to the merchant ships,
            Minutes after they took I
            From the bottomless pit.
            But my 'and was made strong
            By the 'and of the Almighty.
            We forward in this generation
            Triumphantly.
            Won't you help to sing
            Another song of freedom? -
            'Cause all I ever have:
            Redemption songs;
            Redemption songs.

            Emancipate yourself from mental slavery;
            None but ourself 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 fulfil de book.

            Won't you help to sing
            Another song of freedom? -
            'Cause all I ever have:
            Redemption songs;
            Redemption songs;
            Redemption songs.

            Sing wi' me, children:
            In every way, now;
            In everyday;
            In every way;
            In everyday.

            Emancipate yourself from mental slavery;
            None but ourself can free our mind.
            Have no fear for atomic energy,
            'Cause none of them can stop the time.
            How long shall dey kill our prophets,
            While we stand aside and look?
            Some say it's just a part of it:
            We've got to fulfil de book.
            Won't you help to sing, o-oo-oo!
            Another song of freedom? - yeah, child!
            'Cause all I ever had, did ya know? -
            Redemption songs.

            Sing the harmony:
            Redemption songs;
            Come on with me, children!
            In every way, now;
            In everyday;
            In every way, now;
            In every way.

            Thank you, very much!
